Yes, I know it was more than likely an accident. It's was the comment that Gleb dropped her because he was too busy looking at himself in the mirror that annoyed me.

Gelb is taller than Brendan and Brendan doesn't seem to have any problems lifting Natalie. She's a professional dancer and knows how to hold herself to make it easier for her partner to lift her. More likely, it was simply a moment that went wrong, whether because of Gleb, Natalie or both of them. It happens.

When and where did he drop Natalie and Kristina and hit Janette in the face. I haven't read any reports except on this thread.

Height does not determine strength. Gleb is reported to have dropped both Janette and Kristina so it's possible that he's not as strong as Brendan and/or not good at lifts. Either way I feel sorry for him and the pro dancers he has dropped. Poor Natalie. Twice with serious injuries. Hope she's ok.
I do find it odd she hasn't mentioned her absence from the tour on Twitter, but agree with others that more should have been made of it through official channels. No sympathy for Gleb from me though, he's not the one who's has to miss the tour! And he keeps being rewarded for his innovative/risk tasking choreo with wins.

No doubt Gleb was busy preening into the nearest mirror when he dropped her.
Such a loss to any show that girl. Mind you, she might be glad to be out of it, but Ainsley will be sad. They had such a good partnership and Karen is no substitute ![]() |

Is he really, I thought Brendan was the tallest male pro. Anita is quite small and he doesn't look out of place with her as some couples have previously.

Based on the information I could find, and I can't guarantee the accuracy, Brendan is 5ft 11in and Gleb is 6ft 1in. I'm pretty sure Aljaž is taller than Brendan too, but I couldn't find any info about his height.

Well, the way to know for sure would be for someone to tweet each of them and ask them...

Anyway, judging from his underpants clad body, which has been all over Twitter, believe me, Gleb looks more muscular than Brendan or Aljaz. And I think he looks a bit taller - I'd guess an inch or so. I think Aljaz looks slightly taller than Brendan, as well, but I'm less sure about those two. Trent was tall and skinny - I'd put him at Aljaz's height. So I'd say, Gleb 6'1, Trent/Aljaz 6', Brendan/Tristan 5'11, Anton 5'10, Pasha 5'8 or 5'9, Kevin? 5'7?? (with Vincent at 5'6). Giovanni confuses me but I think he's tallish - 5'10 or so? Robin Windsor admitted in "that" video that he was between 5'8 and 5'8 and a half (and that's why they never would have assigned him Pixie - he was asked after saying he wished he'd had a fitter partner and someone asked if he would have been partnered with Trixie if they hadn't had to call in Trent at the last minute). Somehow, Robin's one of the few I believe. Does anybody know about possible new pro Neil Jones? He and Katya look short to me - 5'6 to 5'8 maybe. |

They wouldn't necessarily tell the truth. Men are notorious for adding an inch or two or three... I remember noticing once that on his myspace, Mark Ballas said he was 5'10". Someone called him on it, and he LOL'd it off, saying something about it depends on the height of his lifts that day. Tony Dovolani claims he's 6' but a friend of mine is 5'11" and she went to an event (in flats) and paid for the meet-and-greet, got a photo standing next to him, and she was clearly taller than he was.

Hi Elsa. Lisa Snowdon is said to be 5'10". I don't think there's only an inch between her and Brendan.
Just the fact that they'd assign Natalie to Brendan and Gleb suggests they're a couple of the taller pros, I guess. So maybe I'll move Brendan up to 6' in my guesses. And in my post above, I said Trixie instead of Pixie = sorry!

In the short term may be he's ok but it's not a good reputation to have is it? He's dropped three pro female dancers in his first series ... His wife Elena is quite tall, not as tall as Natalie but taller than Janette and Kristina, so it's surprising he can't lift. Let's hope that he isn't suffering from something hard to diagnose too.
If Gleb is at fault, it's up to the choreographers to not let him do potentially dangerous lifts and to the female pros to refuse to dance with him. |

Heights
These are the heights I wrote down on the back of an envelope provided by ITT in 2014 during their Pro Challenge. I'll include all the Pros listed.
IVETA - 5ft 7 ALJASH - 5ft 11 ALIONA - 5ft 5 BRENDAN - 6ft ANTON - 5ft 11 PASHA - 5ft 10 KAREN - 5ft 5 ARTEM - 5ft 10 JANETTE - 5ft 1 KEVIN - 5ft 8 Obviously no Trent or Gleb, but I would say both around 6ft, same as Brendan, and yes, I am obsessed with heights (being short myself, the same as Janette, but considerably wider). Lisa Snowden expected to be paired with Ian that year, due to her height, but also in the line-up was Jodie Kidd, who was 6ft plus. Hence they put her with Ian and Lisa with Brendan. I can't remember who Matthew was with? |

I'm pretty sure that Trent's bio on BBC SCD page had him as 6 foot. Gleb is 6 foot. I think Aljaz is 6'1" as he's a whole foot taller than Janette.

In the picture Gleb recently posted of him and Aljaz they looked to be about the same height, maybe Gleb a tick taller. Aljaz might seem taller because he's slimmer than Gleb.

Indeed, the proportion of head size/neck (sounds weird but it's true) and shoulders plus leg legthn is often misleading. High shoulders like Alijaz, give the impression of taller while slightly broader and lower shoulders give the opposite impression.
Some of the tour costumes have been bothering me because they don't suit Gleb's build at all, especially the final one (Hooray for Hollywood). On the other hand, they're okay on Aljaz because he has such a slender build, like how most clothes look good on thin fashion models.
