Artem Chigvintsev slips into a cute pic with a fan while leaving the dance studio on Saturday (March 26) in Los Angeles.
The 33-year-old pro dancer and partner Mischa Barton got to work on their Cha Cha for Latin Night on Dancing With The Stars.
“Mischa is coming together, and is in it full force, she even designed the dress herself. I think that the entire performance is going to really pull together,” he wrote in his blog for our parent site, JustJared.com last week.
Artem added, “I am extremely proud of her. I think this is going to be a great season and I know Mischa is going to kill it!”
Can’t wait to see Artem and Mischa kill it this week!

The 30-year-old actress was labeled as the dark horse of the competition, by former pro Cheryl Burke.
“[Mischa] could be the Rob Kardashian of the season,” Cheryl explained on Extra. “Everyone thought Rob was just gonna be horrible and he ended up coming in second place.”
Mischa and partner Artem Chigvintsev also stopped for fans after finishing up their practice for the day.

The Dancing With The Stars team earned 16 points for their Tango on the premiere earlier in the week and are looking to increase that score with next week’s routine.
“Artem would show me a sequence and expect me to pick it up, but all I could do was start laughing because it was so overwhelming,” Mischa wrote in her blog for the season. “But Artem didn’t let up or take it easy on me, and I appreciate that.”
She added, “He can be tough and strict, but he’s never mean. I don’t mind that he’s a little hard on me because I know that means he’s taking this seriously just like I am. It’s nice to work with someone who is as committed to their career as I am.”
