Usage Note
Ballerina is the feminine form; the masculine counterpart is il ballerino. It covers both classical ballet dancers and more broadly any female dancer. The word is internationally recognised as a loanword in English, but in Italian it retains its full range of meanings including chorus-line dancer or dance student. Le ballerine is also informal for flat ballet-pump shoes.
Examples
"La ballerina eseguì un salto perfetto."
Natural Translation
The ballet dancer performed a perfect jump.
