Achieving the title of ballerina is awarded to only those who have worked hard and earned it. They must first prove their talents to be recognized as a soloist, then principle, and then a prima. But that is not as far as they can reach. There is a further rank that is called the Prima Ballerina Assoluta, and only very special women have earned that title. Only 11 people have ever been given that title and here they are...
1. Anneli Alhanko
2. Alessandra Ferri
3. Maya Plisetskaya
4. Mathilda Kschessinskaya
5. Galina Ulanova
6. Alicia Alonso
7. Eva Evdokimova
8. Pierina Legnani
9. Phyllis Spira
10. Alicia Markova
11. Margot Fonteyn
12. Natalia Makarova
13. Yvette Chauviré
