A ballerina is a girl who does ballet, in an Italian translation. Anybody can be a ballerina if they want to. There are many famous ballerinas. Look them up sometime.
Marie Taglioni was one of the first ballerinas to dance on pointe, and she was quite famous.
The term "ballerina" is based off the word "ballet", with the suffix "-ina". "-ina" is a feminine suffix; note names such as "Katrina", "Sabrina", etc. Thus the term "ballerina" means simply "girl who does ballet".

There are actually five famous American Indian ballerinas. The most famous is Maria Tallchief . She had a sister who also danced by the name of Marjorie Tallchief. There are also Moscelyne Larkin, Yvonne Chouteau and Rosella Hightower, who passed away recently at 89. There are probably a number of Indian ballerinas out there now because of those five.
