why ballet?

Broadcast Date: April 27, 1971
"She wanted to improve my posture or something like that," Karen Kain says about her mother in this CBC Radio interview. Winnifred Kain first signed her six-year-old daughter up for ballet lessons to correct a slouching habit. She had no idea her eldest would one day become the most famous ballerina in Canada. At the time of this radio interview Karen Kain probably didn't have any idea either. It's 1971 and she's just 20 years old.
Softly, the ballerina tells host Bill McNeil about her teenage years and what it's like to dance the lead role for the National Ballet.
