Question: How do you know what level ballet you are in!?
I've been taking ballet for a few years but my teacher never told me what level i'm in!. All it says is that im in intermediate 2!. How do they determine the level!? thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
teachers put levels togther by looking at the dancer and seeing their pottential and the level of skill and technique!. they gather a few dancers that are about the same and put them in!. intermediate 2 is pretty good i means that your not dead center in your dance studios rank but your not one of the best!. I am in the advanced class in my studio and i am a soloist in my studios nutcracker=]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well its different in all studios!.
Like my studio's levels are:
Level 1- just beginning!. doing basic steps
Level 2- better, just need better technique on basic steps!. start leaps/jumps
Level 3- have good technique/understand basic steps easily!. ready for challenge
Level 4- can easily do basic steps, hard exercises, great technique, height in all jumps/leaps, etc!.


I'm in level three!.

But it's hard to say because all studios are different!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow thats really different to what we have! We move up a grade each year!. At the moment im in intermediate (eleventh year), but i think its different to what you have!. With terms such as "intermediate" so commonly used for different things, there could be a lot of confusion!. It would probably be best to ask your dance teacher directly what level you are:
1!. Pre Primary
2!. Primary
3!. Grade 1
4!. Grade 2
5!. Grade 3
6!. Grade 4
7!. Grade 5
8!. Pre Elementary
9!. Elementary
10!. Pre Intermediate
11!. Intermediate
12!. AdvancedWww@QuestionHome@Com
