The star of the Russian show “Dancing with the Stars” and the British analogue of Strictly Come Dancing, Gleb Savchenko and his wife, choreographer Elena Samodanova, became parents for the second time. Gleb announced the good news the day before on his Twitter page. The star couple have not yet shown a photo of the child, but they have revealed the name and gender.
I'm so excited to welcome my baby! This is a girl - Zlata, she was born on August 1 at 22 hours 26 minutes, weight - 3.6 kg, - wrote Gleb.
Shortly before Elena gave birth, Gleb was in the USA, where he took part in a dance tour. However, upon learning that his wife was about to give birth to a child, the organizers allowed Gleb to leave the tour and join the family. Gleb immediately flew to Sydney, where the star family currently lives.
“I think my family is more important than fame,” Gleb told The Sun then.
Gleb and Elena met in one of the dance studios in Moscow, when they were both 18 years old, they immediately became friends. After some time, friendship grew into love. In 2006, Gleb and Elena formalized their relationship, and the same year the couple had a daughter, Olivia.

Gleb Savchenko is ranked 10th in the world among professional Latin performers.
American dances. In 2015, Gleb became a participant in the ninth season of the show “Dancing with the Stars” on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, where he appeared on the floor together with figure skater Adelina Sotnikova. His wife Elena also participated in the show, but was on the jury. In one of the interviews, Elena admitted that she is not jealous of Sotnikova; on the contrary, she is glad that Gleb got such a wonderful dance partner. Adelina Sotnikova and Gleb Savchenko took 2nd place in the Russian show.
After this, Gleb took part in the 13th season of the British television project Strictly Come Dancing, where he unconditionally won, stunning viewers. Since the first episodes of Strictly Come Dancing, a good half of English women have fallen in love with the 31-year-old dancer from Russia, writes Radio Times. Today, Gleb Savchenko is known all over the world; he performs in Europe and the USA.
He is one of the top ten professional Latin American dance performers in the world. This couple delighted television viewers throughout the entire season of Dancing with the Stars - 2015, and it is not surprising that they received the audience award.
“Around TV” has no questions about Gleb Savchenko as a professional: he is a dancer of the highest class. We decided to find out what kind of person he is off the floor, what he dreams about, how he raises his daughter and when was the last time he had the opportunity to invite his own wife to dance Elena Samodanova.
How do two professionals in one family get along (Gleb Savchenko’s wife Elena Samodanova is a choreographer and international category judge. - Ed.)?
We are both leaders, both with character. Naturally, everyone has their own opinion. But we already know each other so well that we easily overcome disagreements that happen in any family. Our secret is that we have learned to work as a team. A family is a kind of business where partners do one thing together. In addition, we have learned to separate our personal lives, family relationships, and raising a child from work and careers. That's why our union really works.
Elena Samodanova
- Who helps the other more in developing a career and personal growth in your tandem?
Probably Lena helps me more. She sets me up, advises me, generates some crazy ideas, which we then implement together. She comes up with an idea, and I take it and do it (laughs). This is a double collaboration: without my participation, her ideas would not have come to fruition, and without her ideas, I would be sitting somewhere in Bali and calmly sipping beer.
- Gleb, how are you raising your daughter? What kind of dances do you dance with her?
Oh, she loves to dance! She has a lot of energy and emotions. Since we live in different countries and constantly move between them, in each country she does something different. Here, in Moscow, she goes to gymnastics, ballet and dancing, in Australia she does swimming and surfing, and in America she also dances and gymnastics.
Elena Samodanova and Vadim Lyubushkin
- Do you want a son? Will you teach him to dance too?
Yes, I want a son. I actually want three children. I will teach dancing to a certain level. In my opinion, children need to develop what they really like, but you shouldn’t put pressure and impose your opinion in terms of choice. You never know, maybe he will like growing tomatoes? So he will be an agronomist. Why not?!
- How to fight the stereotype “dancing is not for boys”; boxing, football are another matter...
I think every dancer has inevitably encountered this. And this opinion exists not only in Russia - this situation is everywhere. This is especially true for those who specialize in ballroom dancing. Although now in Russia they are very popular. There is a ballroom dancing section in almost every school. Yes, they laugh at you at first, but then, when you come out and show your skills, they say: “Wow, that’s cool!”
Gleb Savchenko and Adelina Sotnikova
- "Wow that's cool!" TV viewers also spoke. It’s not for nothing that you and Adelina Sotnikova received the Audience Award. By the way, how was it working together with the Olympic champion?
I was sick and worried about Adeline when I watched the Olympics in Sochi. But we didn’t know her personally before the project. When I found out that I would be dancing in the show with Adeline, I was wildly happy. Everything coincided so coolly with her: the weight category, the characters, and the age. Adelina, and I am not afraid to say this, is the partner one can only dream of. I think that any professional partner in the project, having learned that it was not him who got it, was to some extent jealous of me.
- Was Adeline really superior to the other participants in everything, and did she have no vulnerabilities?
Adeline is the youngest participant in the project. She is only 18 years old, which means she has less life experience compared to others. In addition, she is only an athlete - she does not have an acting background, unlike other participants. Therefore, I was faced with difficult tasks. It was necessary to set it up for each of the numbers and explain the nature of each dance. This took quite a lot of time and was a bit of a challenge for me personally. I was nervous for Adeline, because she had never danced before. This is something new for her. Therefore, in each number I thought not only about myself and how I could dance, but also about her: I always watched Adelina out of the corner of my eye. This was my share of responsibility for her.
Gleb Savchenko, Adelina Sotnikova and Daria Zlatopolskaya
The main thing for me in a partner is desire: the desire to dance, the desire to learn, the desire to do better, the desire to stay on the project, the desire to create, understand, live. After all, if you really want something, you will definitely succeed. For example, Valeria Gai Germanika... At the beginning of the project, no one thought that she would succeed. And she reached the quarterfinals and danced in a way that half of those who remained in the finals now did not dance. She had this desire! Plus, of course, endurance is important, because in the project professionals dance with stars who, as you know, all have different characters: some are capricious, some are lazy, some are hot-tempered, some are just crazy. Patience must be ironclad.

Gleb Savchenko: “If it weren’t for my wife, I would be sitting somewhere in Bali and drinking beer normally”
Adelina Sotnikova is the first Olympic champion in women's single skating in Soviet and Russian history, and Gleb Savchenko is one of the ten best experienced Latin American dance performers in the world. This couple delighted TV viewers throughout the entire season of Dancing with the Stars 2015, and it is not surprising that they received the Audience Choice Award.
“Okolo TV” has no questions about Gleb Savchenko as a specialist: he is a dancer of the highest class. We decided to determine what kind of person he is off the floor, what he dreams about, how he raises his daughter, and the last time he had the opportunity to invite his wife Elena Samodanova to dance.
How do two specialists in one family get along (Gleb Savchenko’s wife Elena Samodanova is a choreographer-judge and director of the international category. - Ed.)?
We are both favorites, both with character. Of course, everyone has their own conclusion. But we already know each other so well that we easily overcome disagreements, which happen in any family. The domestic secret is that we have learned to work as a team. A family is a kind of business where partners do one thing together.
In addition, we have learned to separate personal destiny, raising a child and family relationships from work and career. Based on this, the domestic alliance is really working.

And who really helps the other one more in establishing a career and personal growth in your tandem?
Perhaps Lena is helping me more. She sets me up, recommends something, generates some crazy ideas, which we later implement together. She comes up with an idea, and I take it and do it (laughs).
This is a double collaboration: without my participation, her ideas would not have come to fruition, and without her ideas, I would be sitting somewhere in Bali and drinking beer normally.
Gleb, how are you raising your daughter? What specific dances do you dance with her?
Oh, she really loves to dance! She has a lot of emotions and energy. Since we live in different countries and invariably move between them, in each country she does something different.
Here, in Moscow, she goes to gymnastics, dancing and ballet, in Australia she goes in for surfing and swimming, and in America she also does gymnastics and dancing.

Do you want a son? Will you also teach him to dance?
Yes, I wish for a son. By and large, I wish for three children. I will teach dancing to a certain level. In my opinion, it is necessary to develop in children what they really like, but they should not put pressure and impose their own conclusion in terms of choice.

How to fight the stereotype “dancing is not for boys”; boxing, football are another matter...
I believe that any dancer has inevitably encountered this. And this conclusion exists not only in the Russian Federation - this situation is everywhere. This is especially true for those who specialize in ballroom dancing. Despite the fact that at the moment they are very popular in the Russian Federation.
There is a ballroom dancing section in virtually every school. Yes, at first they laugh at you, but later, when you come out and show your skills, they say: “Wow, that’s strong!”

- “Wow, that’s strong!” TV viewers also spoke. It’s not for nothing that you and Adelina Sotnikova received the Audience Award. By the way, how was it working together with the Olympic champion?

I think that any experienced partner in the project, having found out that it was not him who got it, to some extent was envious of me.
Was Adeline really superior to the second participants in everything, and did she not have any vulnerabilities?
Adeline is the youngest participant in the project. She is only 18 years old, which means she has less life experience compared to others. In addition, she is only an athlete - she does not have an acting base, unlike the second participants. Based on this, I faced difficult tasks. It was necessary to tune her to any of the numbers and interpret the temperament of each dance. This took quite a lot of time and was a bit of a challenge for me personally.
I was worried about Adeline, since she had never danced. This is something new for her. Based on this, in each number I thought not only about myself and how I could dance, but also about her: I inattentively constantly watched Adeline.
This was my part of responsibility for her.
Gleb Savchenko, Adelina Sotnikova and Daria Zlatopolskaya
The main thing for me in a partner is desire: the desire to dance, the desire to learn, the desire to do better, the desire to stay on the project, the desire to create, to realize, to live. Because if you really want something, you will definitely have it. For example, Valeria Gai Germanika... At the beginning of the project, by and large, no one thought that she would have anything. And she came out in one fourth of the finals and danced in a way that a good half of those who remained in the finals at the moment did not dance.
U she was this is a wish! Plus, it goes without saying, endurance is responsible, since in the project the specialists are dancing with the stars, who, as we know, all have different characters: some are capricious, some are lazy, some are quick-tempered, some are easily crazy. Patience must be metallic.

“Dancing with the Stars”: what experts think about their own partners
Is it possible for anyone to learn to dance?
Yes. The only question is how much time is available for this and what level needs to be achieved. I fully believe that anyone can dance.
In your opinion, were the judges' assessments adequate?
At the beginning of the season, all the judges immediately started with a dozen. I would like there to be sevens and eights, and not just admiration, but constructive criticism. We needed the opinion of experts in order to take their recommendations into service and apply them in the next issue. This was what I needed. For the most part, there were only good reviews - everyone sang each other's praises. The only judge who issued the construct with instructions for use was Lena Samodanova.
She really spoke from an experienced point of view about the dance and made specific comments: she doesn’t like the shoes, the help, the costume, and without that. All couples take her advice paid attention and tried to be guided by them. But at the end of the season, starting from the 1/8 finals, all the judges suddenly began to scold the couples and give low marks.
And this was openly unclear to me.
What specific plans do you have for shaping your own career?
The next project in which I participate, is the British version of Strictly Come Dancing, which starts in August and runs until mid-December. Then, approximately from mid-February, I will be touring England. And already in the last days of February, the American version of “Dancing with the Stars” begins, in which I will also take part.
This will be the 22nd season! So I have everything planned until next year.
How do you find time for personal destiny With such geography and a busy schedule?
