'ballet heroine' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'children adore? not very' is the wordplay.
'children' becomes 'ch' (genealogical abbreviation).
'adore?' becomes 'love' (adoring is a kind of loving).
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'love' with 'v' removed is 'loe'.
'ch'+'loe'='CHLOE'

Can you help me to learn more?
