Description
Ballerino
This is in part correct. A Ballerina is a female dancer in french, so it only makes sense that the term for male dancer would be Ballerino. It is very common for the changed vowel to mean a change in gender both in French and Latin, the two roots of this word.
It is not so simple though. Even though the term Ballerino is correct it has other connotations. It is not widely used to mean the same as Ballerina. Calling a male dancer a Ballerino is giving them a sense of status. This term is not widely used, it is reserved usually for main dancers.
