It is the same :)
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.
In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female. The term 'prima ballerina' is a gender specific noun for the female lead in a ballet company. There is no corresponding gender specific noun for a male. The noun 'ballerina' is from Italian. The male dancer is a ballerino.
Une belle ballerine
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.
A prima ballerina is the french term for a principle. When she has been appointed by the Director, that is when she becomes a Prima Ballarina. Even if a ballerina does lead roles, she may NOT be a PB. A prima ballerina was also a term placed upon a dancer by the Zar of russia along time ago
There is no single English word for a male ballet dancer.
Probably Vaslav Nijinsky or Mikael Baryshnikov, in my opinion.
One of the DuPont's are Aurelie DuPont a famous French Ballerina. The DuPont's are a rich french family. Their are not much to learn of them.
A danseur or a ballerino and NOT a ballerina because that is the feminine form of ballet dancer
C'est une ballerine et elle est anglaise.
