When a journalist addressed Karen Kain as "prima ballerina" in 1974 the dancer quickly corrected him: "I wouldn't go that far." Kain didn't know at the time that she would one day become Canada's most popular dancer. The ballerina from Hamilton went on to draw ovations from international audiences,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with performances of "Swan Lake" to the more risqué "Carmen." By the time she retired in 1997 after 27 years as a dancer with the National Ballet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kain had more than earned the title prima ballerina.
"Like they might shatter when I walked on them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Karen Kain says,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], referring to how her ankles felt when she woke up this morning. Pain is a fact of life in the ballet, the Canadian ballerina explains in this 1976 CBC interview. Kain's body aches everyday -- she once compared it to being "near arthritic" -- and due to physical exertion she needs more sleep than the average person. Ballerinas have to push themselves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], practicing up to eight hours a day. And the harder you work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "the stiffer you get,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Kain.
• Betty Oliphant and Celia Franca founded the National Ballet School of Canada. In a 1997 Chatelaine Oliphant said a ballerina who is more flexible usually suffers less pain. Oliphant explained: "Karen has a long back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which makes certain positions quite difficult for ballet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and she didn't have a lot of flexibility in her hips. What it involved was a lot of pain and stress . She actually fought physical limitations mostly by not accepting them."
• Pointe shoes cause blisters and bleeding feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Canadian ballerina Evelyn Hart has deformed feet from years of dancing pointe.
• European ballerinas are a more natural fit for pointe shoes because they typically have smaller feet than Canadian dancers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
• In 1998,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dance shoemaker Freed of London debuted a shoe especially for North Americans called "The Maple Leaf." It was wider and had a more square platform.
• Pointe shoes often need replacing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They last no longer than about a month. During one performance a professional ballerina can go through three pairs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].相关的主题文章：
