	Merriam-Webster Online
		The male complement to a ballerina (or more precisely, a prima ballerina, the principal female dancer in a ballet company) is a premier danseur.
		A borrowing of the Italian term for "first lady," prima donna originally named "the leading or a principal female singer in an opera or concert organization." This sense has no male partner in English, where a "principal male singer" is known as precisely that: a principal male singer.
		It took a number of decades (and, we'd dare say, a number of temperamental artists) before prima donna ventured from its distaff side and came to be applied to any person—male or female—who finds it difficult to work under direction or as part of a team.
