“Danced on one leg”: Lada Dance told how she was recovering from the accident

– Has your life changed after the accident?

– Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t know how to say, this accident prompted the public to somehow remember me sharply! Although I never left here. Won very big shows. I’m practically a finalist in the “Mask” show, which ran for three months, and before that I also had all sorts of victories, a lot of different things.

– So, what are you working on now, at this time?

– As it turned out, this accident showed how long I had been absent from the media space. And the most key point is that I finally have a producer, for many years, Sergei Pudovkin. He didn’t leave me alone. And in this difficult situation, it was he who showed me what and how I went through these terrible days and months. Well, how terrible… Yes, they were very “painful”, difficult: first the hospital, then recovery. But I’m the kind of person who never talked about it. This is not the first situation in my life. Yes, this was the first time there had been an accident, but before that there had been fractures, torn ligaments, and there were crutches too. But I especially tried not to talk about it, it seemed to me that no one would be interested in it. But Sergei said that people should know how an artist goes through all these difficult moments, blows of fate, and also said that they need to go into public life. I then answered him: they say, good! And she agreed. That’s why I ran straight from the hospital on crutches to the performance. And for the first time I was taken to a concert in a wheelchair and literally carried on stage in my arms! And then there was the show “Battle of Generations”, which I won! I won’t lie, I realized my strength again.

In the last two months alone, I have starred in as many programs as I haven’t starred in in six months.

– So how did this accident happen? Where were you going?

– The driver of my close friend, whom I knew well, was taking me to the concert that day (he had driven me four times before). But in some strange way, on this bright and bright day, he got into a traffic accident at a speed of 110 km per hour. That is, there, on the road, the cars had already collided and were standing, and he crashed into them! At that moment I flew from the back seat forward. That’s all! Further injuries, serious condition, ambulance, hospital…

– Do you have any complaints against him now?

– Not to him, although this man didn’t even apologize. At first, of course, I was very angry with him, because when all this happened, the driver was talking to us, did not faint, did not lose consciousness. And I didn’t understand the reason for this whole accident, the collision itself. Maybe he lost his vigilance and flew at speed, without braking, into other standing cars, because he simply did not see them.

– So you weren’t wearing a seat belt?

– Naturally, who is buckled up in the back seat? Nobody. That’s why I flew over. The ballerina who was sitting next to me was very injured. I was traveling with the team and talking when it all happened.

Personally, I no longer have any complaints against the driver, but I have complaints specifically against the insurance company of his car. Many people ask me about my friend, whose driver was driving us. I will say this: I was and continue to be friends with my friend, and this accident did not in any way affect our relationship with her.

– Where is the injured ballerina from?

– My ballerina, choreographer, she is the prima of my ballet. During the accident, the girl suffered an open head injury, memory loss and injury to her forehead. I recommended her a very good plastic surgeon, one of the best, who is now working with her. The second girl had broken ribs and was sitting next to the driver. Both ballerinas are young, 25 years old.

-Are you going to court to get compensation?

– No, not to court. I don’t submit anything at all. The investigator is leading this case. People were injured there, and not only us, but also those people who were in other cars standing in front.

– How is your health now? What’s wrong with your leg? Your fans are worried and even indignant: how can she, Lada, walk in heels after such an accident?

– I already walk without crutches, I’m working out my leg, I go in for sports with a personal trainer. I do various massages, IVs, and much more. Yes, sometimes I go on stage in high heels, and then I put my slippers back on – it’s hard afterwards, it hurts. I can’t say that everything is fine, but it’s still much better, because almost three months have passed and the healing process is underway! I do not violate anything and follow all the doctor’s orders. And, thank God, I no longer need to sit at home, close myself and worry. Oh no, it’s not mine! If I dance, live, breathe, then it’s fine for now. She danced on one leg!

– How did your family react to all this?

– They, of course, were in shock. I have a son and daughter, although they still live abroad and are very worried about me, but we are constantly in touch. I have already flown to them.

– What do you dream about? What is the most important thing in life for you now?

– The most important thing in life is me. My condition, my peace of mind, and the most important thing is my children, so that everything is fine with them, so that they do not get nervous and continue to work. And I realized my dreams a long time ago, they came true. I just want to live a great life, make friends, love and enjoy life!

– Question about everyone’s favorite film “All Men Are …,” where you played one of the main roles. Is it true that all men are…?!

– No, of course, there are real men in life! It’s all in a person’s head. If a woman thinks that there are no men, they will never appear. Everything that happens in our life comes from our thoughts.

– So you have a real man?

– Of course there is! But let it remain a secret. I don’t like to talk about my personal life, I’m not alone. Believe me, everything comes from a woman’s desire to be loved and to love. And it is this feeling that always inspires us! It’s great when you have self-love, but it’s the greatest when you yourself love and are loved! With all my heart I wish every woman such true love.

I would also like to add: a lot of things happen in the life of any person, but the most important thing is to strive forward. It is impossible without work. Especially without working on yourself! I believe that a happy person is one who enjoys his profession. And it’s great that I have such a job, and that’s why I’m happy!
