How many positions are in ballet?
Traditionally, there are five (see related links). However, more recently a sixth position has become pretty mainstream, and that position is just your two feet together, parallel and touching.
What is the ballet position with heels on both feet touching?

It means "to the fourth (position)"
What is the difference between modern ballets from traditional ballets?
Modern ballet focuses on natural movement and traditional ballet has more stricter rules. For example, if a traditional ballet dancer is just standing on stage, their legs have to be turned out and in first position. But if it were a modern ballet dancer, their legs would not be turned out and they would be in parallel position.
