no they are a danseur
HAHA No clue!

Bettina is correct, a Danseur is the masculine equivalent.
Yep, like Bettina said, they are danseurs. Although the guys I used to dance with called themselves Ballerinos (for fun).
Here’s a good answer for you!

(Bettina is right though!)
OMG, I’m digging ballerino! LOL At UrbanDictionary.com they have the first definition for ballerino listed as “a male ballerina (according to Jessica Simpson)” as in… “the ballerino in swan lake wore really nasty tight spandexy tights” ROFL!
funny.
is that the sort of question that comes to mind in the middle of the night when you are trying to get to sleep?? hehe
