Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

A dancer who performs ballet, trained in its technique from a young age, with ranks the registry aliases name such as the principal dancer, soloist, the corps de ballet member, the male danseur noble, the comprimario in supporting roles and the petit rat, a young student of the Paris Opera Ballet school; ballet is physically demanding, and dancers face injury risks and, historically, pressures around body image, which are discussed with attribution. Ballerina traditionally refers to a female principal dancer, though usage varies.
