Is the word dançarino the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No.

While the word "dançarino" is understood in both dialects, there is a difference in typical usage. In Brazil, "dançarino" is the standard, versatile term used for anyone who dances, regardless of the style (samba, hip hop, ballroom, etc.). In Portugal, the word "bailarino" (masculine) or "bailarina" (feminine) is the much more natural and frequent choice, especially when referring to anyone who dances professionally, formally, or in a classical context. Using "dançarino" in Portugal is less common and might feel more specific to a certain subculture rather than the default term for a dancer.
