The ballet position in which the heels on both feet are touching is called first position.
1st position and parallel (or 6th position)
feet parallel together
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.
"à terre" is from the French and means "on the ground", so any position or move described like this has both feet on the floor.
