A boy called Love: From street dance to world-class ballet

Available for over a year

Three and a half years ago Love Kotiya was just a dance-obsessed kid. He’d spend hours doing flips in the parks of Faridabad, winning local competitions and queuing all night to audition for India’s dance reality TV shows. Then, at 15, he saw ballet for the first time through the window of a Delhi dance studio. Last year Love was offered a place at the prestigious English National Ballet School. He tells Andrea Kennedy how despite his late start, he's now poised to complete training for an international career, if he can find the funds… Steve Levine is a New Yorker who always had an affinity for dogs. He had a hectic life travelling the world as a photographer for holiday resorts and tourism boards but wherever he went, dogs would befriend him. He seemed to speak their language. In 2017, after the death of his father, Steve went on retreat to Guatemala. Outlook's Georgia Bell hears how this ability to "speak dog" reset the course of Steve's life.
