A Glorious Debut: Alexey Glukhov & Anastasia Glazunova Win on Their PD Debut
A historic highlight of the Tokyo Open was the WDSF PD World Championship Standard—an event that will long be remembered as the debut of the celebrated duo, Alexey Glukhov and Anastasia Glazunova, in the WDSF Professional Division. The multiple-time Amateur World Champions made a dreamlike transition to the PD circuit, dancing with elegance, confidence, and unmistakable artistry that led them straight to the top of the podium.
In celebration of their victorious debut, WDSF sat down with Alexey and Anastasia to explore the long and emotional journey that led them to this new chapter. We are thrilled to soon share their inspiring story of dedication, resilience, and love for the art of DanceSport with our global community.
