Well, "ballerina" is simply Italian for "dancer," but as in the feminine gender as Italian is one of those languages that has gender modes for its words. The masculine gender for "dancer" in Italian is "ballerino." The French masculine for "dancer" is "danseur" and the feminine is "dansuese." English rarely permits gender modes to its words and "dancer" suffices regardless of the object's sex. However, since many different types of dancing are recognized, and since English easily assimilates words from other languages into itself, "ballerina" is now the English, technical word for specifically a ballet dancer, but suffers from the handicap of being gender-specific and leaving a hole for a single word communicating "male ballet dancer." The 3 word phrase is substited readily, however, and with use, "ballerino" would become an accepted English word. Though, with use, "ballerina" could be applied to males in English, too.
