Ballerina
A kind of dancer · also called ballet dancer, danseuse
About
A ballerina is a classical dancer who maintains a light, lean build to perform demanding jumps and movements.
Ballerinas are generally leaner and lighter than the average adult woman, which helps reduce the physical strain of repetitive jumps. Male ballet dancers are typically taller and significantly heavier, often weighing over 160 pounds (73 kg) so they have the strength to lift their partners. While their frames appear slender, ballerinas hold a dense amount of muscle developed through years of daily technical training.
From Wikipedia
A ballet dancer is a person who practices the art of classical ballet. Both women and men can practice ballet.
