baletowy

Baletowy is a Polish adjective derived from the noun balet (ballet) with the suffix -owy, used to indicate relation to ballet. The form inflects for gender and number: masculine baletowy, feminine baletowa, neuter baletowe, with corresponding plural forms depending on the noun they modify.

Common uses include baletowy repertuar (ballet repertoire), kostium baletowy (ballet costume), technika baletowa (ballet technique) and styl baletowy (ballet style). In phrases such as szkoła baletowa (ballet school) or zespół baletowy (ballet company), baletowy agrees with the head noun in gender and number.

In Polish, baletowy is an adjective and not used as a standalone noun; the base noun remains balet, while person-related terms are different (baletmistrz, tancerz baletowy). The term appears in program notes, arts journalism, education and criticism to designate things related to ballet rather than to other dance forms.
