Soloist (ballet)
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (October 2019) |
In ballet, a soloist is a dancer in a ballet company above the corps de ballet but below principal dancer.[1]
Dancers at this level perform the majority of the solo and minor roles in a ballet, such as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet or one of the Fairies in The Sleeping Beauty.
