Balé apparently means Ballet in Portuguese. If any native speakers could confirm that this is correct, that'd be greatly appreciated. Is this the one & only way to say Ballet in Portuguese?

It has some Google Trends but only about 553,000 Google results with about 88,000 Google images, which seem to indicate that it's correct.

Appraisals & comments appreciated.

Google trends says that "ballet" is used more in Portugal and Brazil than "balé".

Yes, and as I suspected, only used in Brazil.
