Terminology Tuesday Maître
Most dancers, especially those in a ballet company, know the terms ballet master or ballet mistress. Maître or Maîtresse de ballet is the same thing in French.
A ballet master or mistress is the one responsible for training dancers in a company. They usually give class and conduct rehearsals. Sometimes the director (or directors) of small ballet companies act as the ballet master or mistress in addition to their directing duties.
