Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo

Not Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo; but Ballets Russes without the de Monte Carlo is a different albeit related company. Robert Greer (talk) 22:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prove it!

I challenge the statement that Alonso was a prima ballerina assoluta because I see no evidence that the Cuban government ever made such a decision. If they did, please give chapter & verse so the claim can be checked. The wider problem affects a number of WP dance articles, where no reliable reference is given for big claims. Note: I do not deny her excellence in dance, just the title. See longer discussion on Ballerina talk page. Macdonald-ross (talk)

There seem to be no grounds for pba; ref given in intro. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
