the.com/ballerina
An athlete who hides the sweat behind a smile and calls it art.
means A female dancer trained in classical ballet, performing precise, codified steps on pointe or demi-pointe.
from From Italian 'ballerina,' the feminine form of 'ballerino' (dancer), rooted in 'ballare,' 'to dance' — itself from Late Latin 'ballare,' possibly tracing back to Greek 'ballizein,' to dance or jump about. Ballet terminology stayed Italian and then French as the art form spread through European courts, which is why ballerina still carries its Italian swagger today.
