Because you said "Ballerina" that means the top Ballet dancer in a company. There can only be one Ballerina in a company. The male counterpart would be called a Danseur Nobel. Other male dancers would be called Danseurs, or by their rank such as Principal, Soloist or Corps de ballet or just ballet dancer. The same goes for the other women in the company. They would be just called ballet dancers or by their rank. Never a Ballerina.

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.

The term "danseur" is a French term meaning "male ballet dancer." Just as "danseuse" is the female equivalent.

Still, just as "ballerina" is a female ballet dancer--"ballerino" is the male equivalent in Italian.
