Italian term

primi ballerini (al maschile)

Italian to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Article on a new staging of Romeo and Juliet
«Da tempo volevo mettere in scena Romeo and Juliet, e proprio per questo mi premeva affrontarlo da punti di vista inconsueti, spogliando questo classico da ogni retorica e vestendolo con panni diversi, per riflettere su una tematica contemporanea come l’incontro e lo scontro, in cui tutti i protagonisti sono primi ballerini» precisa il coreografo.

Ovviamente, se fossero soltanto donne, si potrebbe tradurre il termine come "prima ballerinas" in inglese, ma in questo caso ci sono anchi i maschi, quindi devo sapere come tradurre il termini per entrambi i sessi. Qualcuno può illuminarmi?

Grazie

agree Amy Taylor : Yup. That's what I was going to say. You could also say "lead dancers" if you like.

You could, but that might give the impression they have heavy feet

neutral Manuela Dal Castello : se si vuole mettere in francese perché fa.... figo, premierS danseurs (usando parole di una lingua straniera che fa il plurale anche sull'aggettivo, contrariamente all'inglese, direi che questa regola va rispettata)

non ho detto figo, ma chic, c'è una sottile differenza. In quanto alla S anche nell'aggettivo, non conoscevo la regola, confesso.
