See I did ballet from the ages of 2-11 then stopped my lessons, after completing a grade 4 exam. I then carried on doing tap, modern and ballroom dancing. I wish to take up ballet again. What standard should I get lessons at? Go back to grade 5, or because of all my other experience go higher?
You should try reading The Ballet Companion by Eliza Gaynor Minden. It has information on ballet's history, a glossary of terms, and lots of useful information on everything from doing a bun to auditioning and performing. What I expect would help the most, however, are the sections written on ballet movements like tendues, grande battements, and pirouettes. They have lots of pictures and give you really informative tips for each ballet movement!
Grade 2 ballet is like a grade in music - the person is in grade two until they take their grade two exam, and then they can move up to grade three. There are several different examination boards for ballet, and the syllabus steps required for the grades will vary from board to board.
