The article says she bacame a principal in 2012 and a star in 2013. The French WP article says she became "premiere danseuse" in 2012 and "danseuse étoile" in 2013. The FrWP article "danseuse étoile" links back to principal dancer.
So, what’s the difference between a premier dancer and a principal dancer? And what’s the difference betwen French and English usage? Is there any? Does anybody know? Moonraker12 (talk) 11:18, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
