Person who's really on her toes (9)

I believe the answer is:

ballerina

(Other definitions for ballerina that I've seen before include "Pavlova?" , "She's a classical dancer" , "girl on point duty" , "girl from the Kirov?" , "Female classical dancer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
