How do you know what level ballet you are in?

Question

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!

Answer 1

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=]

Answer 2

my syllabus goes:

beginners, pre primary, primary, grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, grade 6, pre elementry, elementry, intermediate, advanced.

Answer 3

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. Advanced

Answer 4

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.
