I am a fine artist, and I would like to use photographs of ballet-dansers to make paintings from. Do I get in trouble if I don't have model release forms of the actual ballet-dancer who was onstage that I am painting? A balletgroup will perform soon here in my neighbourhood.

As long as you have permission to photograph - there's absolutely no problem using a dancer's form in your art, unless you intend to make the dancers' faces recognizable. In that case you'll need the dancers' permission to reproduce their likeness.

You should probably ask permission to take any photos from the person in charge of the ballet group. If you have permission for the photos, I'm sure there would then be no problem with painting, but some places restrict photography.

if you took the picture, you have the right to do whatever you want with it.
if someone else took the picture, you need to get the photographer's premission. Or the company that hired the photographer.
In both cases, it's more courteous to ask the model.

no not from what I have read...the painting world is a bit different than the photography world as far as releases go..especially if nothing you show is recognizable.
NCAA or NFL is different though...even if you do it in painting you need permission.

Just claim it's a "parody" and no law can touch you!

no, i don't think that they will care. Do what you want with the pictures.
