position of the feet:
- first - second -third -fourth -fifth (normally in french)
position of the arms:
(same thing)
position of the body:
-quazze -ecarte -ephase etc...
It is a lot easier to get to some other positions in ballet from fifth. For example a battement. {Pronounced bot-ma}
Basic ballet moves are known as 'positions'. There are five. For example, in first position, the dancer's feet are turned out, with heels touching. In second position the feet are moved apart.
Modern ballet focuses on natural movement and traditional ballet has more stricter rules. For example, if a traditional ballet dancer is just standing on stage, their legs have to be turned out and in first position. But if it were a modern ballet dancer, their legs would not be turned out and they would be in parallel position.
The ballet position in which the heels on both feet are touching is called first position.
Neoclassical ballet is a type of ballet formed by George Balanchine and is "American ballet" (like Vagonava is Russian Ballet).This type of ballet makes everything bigger and grander so instead of small controlled jumps, for example, in Balachine/neoclassical ballet, there would be huge jumps. Another example is when you finish a pirouette in fourth position, some styles have you end in a small fourth, but in neoclassical ballet, you land in a wide fourth with arms lengthened and "reaching."Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet (under neoclassical ballet)ANDhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_ballet

Ballet dancers are paid $15,000-$30,000 US dollars on average annually. However this depends on the level of the company and its prestige, and the position you hold in the company. For example, dancers at American Ballet Theatre make more money than dancers at the Portland Ballet Company. Also, principal dancers will make much more than dancers in the corps de ballet.
It means "to the fourth (position)"
Ballet can be both slow or fast, it just depends on the tempo of the music. An example of a slower ballet dance would be a grande allegro. A faster example would be petite allegro.
In Ballet u are always in some position like first seconded and so on in jazz u have sharp movements and are most of the time never in s "position".
