What is the name of a Male Ballet Dancer in English?

I have heard of ballerino and cavalier but I need some more suggestions. It's for a class of mine and I need help!! Thanx in advance

What is the name of a Male Ballet Dancer in English?
In English it is "male dancer". There are some references to "ballerino" in Italian - though it is not commonly used and "danseur" in French. "Cavalier" is not used anywhere I know of.
Reply:Perhaps a "ballet master" or "professional male ballet dancer". Also, "first dancer", from the French "premier danseur".
Reply:I agree with above. "Cavalier" is not used. But "Premier Danseur" and "Ballerino" I have heard of.
Reply:Well, in English, a cavalier.





In French, a dansuer.
Reply:cavalier,
