Today marks the anniversary of the birth of the first Prima Ballerina Assoluta, Perinea Legnani, on September 30, 1863.
Legnani first gained worldwide recognition in 1893 when, as Cinderella, she performed 32 consecutive fouettes en tournant at the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, Russia.
At the time of her career, she was considered the best ballet dancer in the world, and her brilliance was in her technique. On Legnani's birthday, Lario Danza International Ballet holds an annual competition for young dancers. The Pierina Legnani Award is given.
Only 11 women in history have earned the title of Prima Ballerina Assoluta.
Ms. Legnani died on November 30, 1923, in Italy.
