Ballet

male ballerinas are called danseurs.

A person who takes initiative, or perhaps one who is generous.

Pique means "to prick". There are different kinds.

At the barre they are used, like little quick taps of the tip of the toe with a fully extended and pointed leg. The accent is up, much like pricking someone with a pin. It's not a stab, but a quick tap.

In center they can be used differently. Pique turns, difficult to describe, but you push/slightly jump to an extended leg, to the ball of the foot or pointe, and turn.

Also a pique can be a pique arabesque, same idea as the turn but it goes to an arabesque.

I have taught ballet for 10 years and was a professional for 11. I have seen and done too many to count.

In ballet, the hamstring refers to a group of muscles located at the back of the thigh, crucial for movements requiring flexibility and strength, such as pliés and jumps. Strong and flexible hamstrings are essential for achieving proper leg extensions and maintaining balance during various positions. Dancers often engage in specific stretches and conditioning exercises to enhance hamstring flexibility, which contributes to overall performance and injury prevention. Properly developed hamstrings support the dancer's ability to execute movements with grace and control.

You should try reading The Ballet Companion by Eliza Gaynor Minden. It has information on ballet's history, a glossary of terms, and lots of useful information on everything from doing a bun to auditioning and performing. What I expect would help the most, however, are the sections written on ballet movements like tendues, grande battements, and pirouettes. They have lots of pictures and give you really informative tips for each ballet movement!

Ballet originally came from France.

It helps the dancer have a better balance and posture so when you get into a dance number, instead of falling all over the place, you gain that balance that's beautiful.

I'm not sure who wrote the original story, but I think it was german. Then Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the ballet!
