what do you call a male ballet dancer

A male ballet dancer can be called a "dancer", "male ballet dancer", "danseur", or "ballerino". In French, a male ballet dancer is referred to as a "danseur" and a female as a "danseuse". In Italian, a "ballerina" is a female who typically holds a principal title within a ballet company, and the title for equally ranked males is "ballerino". However, these terms are rarely used in English-speaking ballet companies. Instead, boys or men who dance classical ballet are usually referred to as (male) ballet dancers.
