First of all, they are not called ballerinas they are called just Ballet dancers.
They wear flat ballet dance shoes and never pointe shoes. They do many turns and jumps. The male ballet dancers are called "danseurs." It's the original French expression. The female equivalent is "danseuses." "Ballerina" means the female star of the company--the PRINCIPAL. IN Italy.And also, the term "ballerino" is a real expression--it means the male star of the company--THE PRINCIPAL. IN ITALY.And yes, they pre-dominantly dance in flat slippers (no Pointes) and do mostly leaps, jumps, pirouettes and only demi-Pointe. They tend to look strong, graceful and dominant. Very bravura. A delicate type of masculinity. And let's not forget the most important thing they do--lugging the woman up and down the stage. Giving her more support than the Pointe shoes she's wearing.
