Ballet Dancer Emoji 🧑‍🩰

What 🧑‍🩰 means

A dancer in ballet pose — pointe shoes, poised arms, mid-grace. The 🧑‍🩰 Ballet Dancer emoji (Emoji 17.0, September 2025) brought one of the most-requested performing arts to the keyboard, designed gender-neutral with skin-tone support so every dancer sees themselves in it.

Under the hood it's a person joined with the ballet-shoes emoji — dance, discipline, and elegance in one sequence.

How and when to use it

• Recital and class updates: "Six months of practice, first recital tonight 🧑‍🩰"
• For anything done with unusual grace: "She dodged that awkward question like 🧑‍🩰"
• Works for the whole dance world — studios, competitions, and Swan Lake season.
