In French, the male dancer is "danseur" --female is "danseuse."
The male lead is "premier danseur" ; female lead is "premiere danseuse" or "premiere ballerina".
Ballerina is italian; if we adopted the italian form, it would be ballerino, not that anyone uses it.
The online ballet dictionary of the American Ballet Theatre calls the partner of the female ballet dancer (i.e. the male ballet dancer) a "cavalier".

Your profile says, "Im John, Im young but smart and feel I have a lot to offer. I also enjoy editing Wikipedia."
Well, John, seeing as how you are already familiar with one on-line reference tool in terms of HOW TO LOOK STUFF UP, you weren't smart enough to realize that this question might have already been asked DOZENS OF TIMES on Yahoo Answers.
