danseur

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

'regrets day taken up penning article' is the wordplay.
'regrets' becomes 'rues' ('rue' can be a synonym of 'regret').
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'taken up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'penning' is an insertion indicator.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'rues'+'d'='ruesd'
'ruesd' written backwards gives 'dseur'.
'dseur' placed around 'an' is 'DANSEUR'.
