balletically

With dancer's grace

In a manner resembling ballet—graceful, fluid, and precisely controlled.

The adverb typically describes movement that evokes a dancer's elegance: She balletically leapt over the puddle.

It can apply to any motion characterized by poise and deliberate beauty, even in unlikely contexts: The goalkeeper balletically tipped the shot over the crossbar.
