I saw her in The Nutcracker Suite at the National Arts Centre when I was 12, Christmas 1972. I have been back a couple of times since. It is everything magical and beautiful that Christmas should be!😃🎄☃️🎄
Merry Christmas from Ottawa!!🕊️🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

Back in 1977 saw Kane dance a number of times. The difference between her White Swan and Black Swan was so magical.
