EN: male dancer
This is the male counterpart of a 'bailarina'. Think of the guys in tights doing those incredible leaps and turns in shows like The Nutcracker. It's a Spanish loanword, so it sounds a bit fancy, like something you'd see at the CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines).
From Spanish 'bailarín' (dancer).
While it can mean any male dancer, it's strongly associated with ballet or formal dance. The more general term is 'mananayaw'.
