You would call a female dancer a "danseuse" and a male dancer a "danseur". At the Paris Opera Ballet the best dancers are called "étoiles", which means stars in French.
A male ballet dancer is called a danseur, French for dancer. sissy
A ballerina.The term "ballerina" refers to a PRINCIPAL dancer in a ballet company, not any girl who takes ballet. Although now the term seems to apply to any little lady in the craft. The real term (though little-known) for a female dancer other than the principal dancer is "danseuse."--A MALE Ballet Dancer, Dane Youssef
A young male dancer, is nowdays known as just that ' A Dancer'.The formal name is 'DANSEUR' but it is really a bit over the top for everyday use. The only thing to REALLY remember is NOT to call a male dancer a BALLERINA. This name not only is incorrect, it creates the wrong perception of the male dancer. That is soft, girly and fairy like. Male dancers are actually nothing of the sort, irrespective of their sexual preference.According to Wikipedia and The Free Dictionary the proper name for a male ballet dancer is "danseur".You can also refer to a male ballet dancer as a "Balleroux" (Prenounced bah-leh-ROO)There are several terms--"danseur," "ballerino," "male ballet dancer." Or just "dancer." I know an especially popular and fitting one--"brave."

The lead male role in a production would be called the Principal role. The dancer does not have to be of a "principal" rank in the company to do this role. It depends on the casting of the director or choreographer of the show.
They can be called Danseur's, some call them Ballerino's... but many male dancer's don't like that. Or they can be called just- Male Dancer. I was a professional dancer for 11 years and I appreciated Danseur, it's more respectful. Ballerino sounds to much like Ballerina.
