What's up guys? Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood in the dance studio about to join in on another Dancing with the Stars rehearsal. This time it's with Sasha and Gleb.
All right, a little dance class. So, let's start with a little basic salsa. So, you're going to start back with your right leg and you're going to go like this. One and two, three and four, five and six, seven and eight. Not bad.
Before you guys met each other. You walk in. You see each other. Your reaction.
Yeah, I was excited. My parents were dancers and they watched the show. They love Gleb and I watched a few videos before just to see like who's on the show and he was back and and I was so happy that it was him.
Aside from dancing, what has he taught you about life maybe?
I don't know, you taught me to be positive and comfortable and
Confident.
Confident.
Believe in yourself.
Yeah, that's great.
Anything is possible. You got this.
There you go. Make sure you turn your feet out because this is not really. Is he that picky with you?
Oh, yeah.
So, just one more time. All right, now. Let's take a step to the side. One and two, three and four, five and six, seven and eight. Awesome. Let's start over again. For another eight counts, we'll go to the side. We're going backwards. We'll go one and two, three and four, five and six on seven, eight we're going to turn. Seven and eight. Great.
So, So, are you smiling with all the dancing or what's making you just like grit your teeth?
Honestly, I'm having a blast. This has been so fun. And yeah, it's a lot of hard work but I'm always up for that. So, this has just been awesome and really rewarding and I just I really want to stay.
I actually haven't seen Sasha frustrated yet, that frustrated like being like, oh, I can't get it.
If I am, it's always at myself. I'm sure at some point it will happen.
In a couple of weeks. We're going to use a little bit of a shoulder action. One, two. Sasha's favorite, by the way.
Is it your favorite? Is he lying? Is he lying again?
He's lying. He's lying.
Well, you didn't know she was a Shakira. She's called the Shakira.
No, oh my gosh. Why are you so mean to me?
It's a little Shakira.
Why are you being so mean to me today?
There's a little. There's a little Shakira. Okay.
Yeah. Continue. Take that compliment girl. Take it. Let's talk Pretty Little Liars. The spin-off Perfectionists. Tell me what do you know and when did you find out?
It's a spin-off. But also, our amazing writer, uh, Sara Shepard, who wrote the book series PLL, has also written this book and it actually has nothing to do with PLL, but Marlene really wants to continue the family and she's amazing and I love her. So, the cool thing about this is I get to play Alison but at the same time it's a brand new world, it's a totally different journey and I'm excited to go on it.
And then we're going to go to the side. One and two, three and four, five and six and turn seven and eight. And and shimy shimy. Five and six, seven and eight. From the top. One and two. Keep going. Three and four, five and six and turn seven and eight. To the side. And let's go. Ayy. Not bad. That's it.

Yeah.
Awesome. Season 26. I'm in. Good job. Good job.
