    Evelyn Hart, C.C., O.M. Evelyn Hart, C.C., O.M., trained as a student in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School Professional Division, under the directorship of David Moroni, C.M.. Her drive as a student and commitment to success garnered the attention of Mr. Moroni and Arnold Spohr almost immediately. She graduated from the Ballet Academic Program in 1976 and was invited to join the Company. She quickly won the hearts of audience members in Winnipeg and on tour and was promoted to Soloist in 1978 and Principal Dancer in 1979. Ms. Hart was the leading dancer of the RWB for nearly 30 years, and the scope of that role was enormous. She carried the show in all of the Company's major productions and was a role model and inspiration to countless dancers and artists in Winnipeg and around the world. Ms. Hart's attention to detail in each aspect of a performance meant she developed close working relationships with costume designers and musicians throughout the organization. Ms. Hart's legacy of her contribution to the RWB helped bring the company to new heights and new fame. Ms. Hart was the first Canadian to win a gold medal at the Varna International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria for the pas de deux, Belong, choreographed by Norbert Vesak (1980). Ms. Hart has received numerous prestigious awards, including being made a Companion of the Order of Canada (1994), being inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame (2000), receiving a Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, (2001).
