A Ballet split can be two different things.
There's the right/left leg splits, which is where one has one leg in front of them, the other behind them, and is sitting on the floor with their legs at a 180 degree angle. (try looking up 'the splits' to really get it.)
The second one is the middle or 'Chinese' splits. In this, the dancer has their legs extend from their body much in the way that you hold your arms at right angles to your body. Dancers will often stretch with their bottoms on the floor and their their legs parallel to a wall and try to get the entire lengths of the legs up against the wall to stretch.
I hope this helps!
