No you don't have to complete Grade 5 ballet to do Intermediate Foundation, you don't even have to be in Grade 5. Hope this helps!
Elementary ballet is a grade in ballet, It ranges from Pre-primary, primary, grade 1 , Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5. They are the Junior years. Then it goes Pre-Elementary/Intermediate foundation, Elementary/Intermediate, Advanced Foundation, Advanced Foundation 1, Advanced Foundation 2. These are the senior years.
Grade 5 is simply a grade in Ballet, like year 5 in school. You don't necessarily have to complete it, I didn't, to get to the next grade, Intermediate Foundation.
The ballet grades are (in order from low to high) - Pre-Syllabus - Pre-School - Pre-Primary - Primary - Grade 1 - Grade 2 - Grade 3 - Grade 4 - Grade 5 - Grade 6 - Grade 7 - Intermediate-Foundation - Intermediate - Advanced 1 - Advanced 2 (after grade 5, you can skip straight to Intermediate-Foundation, if ready for pointe)
There are 8 ballet grades but there is also pointe work in grade 5 and up (although some start in grade 4), so if some one asks you, you could say that there are 8 or 12 because when you are in grade 5 up you have the poite work exams as well. The Pointe work levels are: Intermediate Foundation Intermediate Advanced Foundation Advanced 1 Advanced 2

In RAD, you start wearing pointe shoes in Intermediate Foundation.
Vocational ballet is a more intense ballet training that people wishes to become professionals take. This is why it is called 'vocational' ballet. Therefore, vocational ballet prepares you to be professional, it is more intense and demanding than normal ballet lessons. It does not include any free movement or character and is a serious, structured classical ballet syllabus. Some ballet schools offer the vocational exams as an extra, for example at my ballet school I am part of a group of 'students' who take one Grade class a week like normal pupils do but also have a vocational class, which in our case is intermediate foundation. The Royal Academy of Ballet in England offer a vocational course which consists of 5 grades.
there are 5 positons in ballet
I am on pointes and I am twelve. I'm in grade 5 ballet. But i do an extra class called Inter Foundation, which helped us to get enough strength to go on pointe in Grade 4. So you should probably wait until either your teacher says or until you are in Grade 5/6

Level 5 in ballet is a advanced level you can get stronger in. In ballet 1 you learn the basics. In ballet 2 you learn more steps but still not to advanced. In ballet 3 you learn some more steps and get a little more advanced. In ballet 4 you get stronger and more steps and at that point your feet get stronger and when your feet are strong enough your teacher decides if you go up on pointe or not yet. After 3 or 4 years in ballet 4 you go to ballet 5. ballet 5 is a very advanced class and is the highest level you can get to!
