How many steps and positions are in ballet?

Answer 1

Ballet has a lot of positions and steps. However, there are five main ones for the feet that every movement starts in, passes through, or ends in. These are first, second, third, and so on. There is also five arm positions, and many others like 'demi second' or 'first arabeque.' Normally you start at the bar which itself has many positions. You would start in usually first, third, or fifth position of the feet, then prepare to wherever you need to go. The first exercise normally (some teachers like to do a warm up exercise or not do the bar in order) is plie. this in french means bend so yo bend your knees. It's not easy because you must allways be in control of all the movements and keep your posture. I'm not going to go through the entire bar, because it's a lot to explain, but I gues your answer is that there are a lot of positions.
