Difference between the Spanish translation of the word "dancer".

I looked up the word dancer, and there are two different words, bailarín, and bailora. What is the difference between these two words? Is one informal and the other formal? Or is it just that one is a professional, and the other is casual? Thanks!

Bailarín = male dancer.

Bailarina = female dancer (or ballerina).

Bailora is not a word that I know of.

However, Bailaor / Bailaora is a Flamenco dancer.
