A male ballet dancer is called a danseur, French for dancer. sissy
ballerino
The term "danseur" is a French term meaning "male ballet dancer." Just as "danseuse" is the female equivalent. And the term "ballerina" actually is an Italian phrase for the PRINCIPAL female ballet dancer. But it has since been used by now to label ANY female taking ballet. Still, just as "ballerina" is a female ballet dancer--"ballerino" is the male equivalent in Italian.
A danseur or a ballerino and NOT a ballerina because that is the feminine form of ballet dancer
