Fun fact

First Canadian to win a gold medal at the Varna International Ballet Competition in 1980, beating dancers from the Bolshoi and other elite companies.

The verdict

A Toronto-born prima ballerina who spent her entire legendary career with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, she's the rare artist who became an international star without ever leaving home. Canada didn't just shape her — it was her stage, and she made us all look a little more graceful, eh?
