Yeah, but do people use that term in English? The lesser male dancers are called 'danzatores'. The lead male dancer is a 'ballerino', although I've rarely heard those terms used in English. Usually we say 'male ballet dancer' or 'the male lead'. I realize it's French, rather than English, but one term I've heard used fairly frequently is Premier Danseur (the male equivalent of the Prima ballerina, who is less frequently called the Première Danseuse).

Ah, yes. I forgot about that one.
