I felt simply wonderful after interviewing Alla Dukhova, head of the Todes ballet company. She’s someone who’s really close to my heart, like everyone who appears on my programme. They’re all different, or course, and their success stories are different, but they’ve all had to cope with hardship as if fate were testing their strength…
As a child, Alla literally forced her parents to take her to a dance studio. Since then, she says, she’s been unable to think about anything other than dance. “Dance is my life, it’s what makes me happy”. But finding her vocation was only the beginning. Alla Dukhova’s recipe for success is to love what you do, to work honestly with fanatical devotion. And this will surely lead to success. Perhaps not immediately, but it will definitely come.
Does this recipe suit you? You can reflect on this by watching “Steps towards Success” at 1100 on Sunday 11th April, on Channel 5. As always, the programme will be repeated at 0015 on Monday 12th April.
