My teacher then told us today that we were actually going to begin Intermediate Foundation (ie. skip 7 grades). I was really surprised, but my teacher says that in a years time we will do the Intermediate Foundation exam and then start Intermediate work. Intermed. Foundation, as you may be aware, is when you normally start pointe work, and the average age for intermediate foundation is around 13-16. I am proud that I am working at the same level as my 16 year old friend who has been doing ballet for 12 years!!! My teacher is just pushing us to do and achieve our best.
So basically, don't give up because I am 15 and beginning pointe work late this year and next year or sometime. I have only been doing ballet 2 months and I'm actually not very good- though I love it!
You can still get to pointe work standard!
Maybe you should talk to your teacher about how you want to achieve intermediate foundation level, and she/he may push you harder.
Answer
I am 13 and in intermediate Foundation on pointe and am doing my exam next week but if you are in grade 3 and work hard you may still be able to go on pointe later maybe even skipping some grades. Never give up hope if you really want to go on pointe maybe discuss some options with your teachers and they might send you to the physio therapist to get your feet examined. Good Luck!
I am 13 in grade as well and in inter foundation as well as that and in grade 3 its my second year so its my exam and after my grade 3 exam in grade 4 we go to demi pointe so ill be 14. Because im In inter foundation tho it might be me and others who take that class get there a little faster.
Grade 1 Ballet is a level like in music. In Ballet you start at primary. you primary exam is the 1st exam you take in ballet and when you take your primary exam and pass you move up into grade 1.Depending on the ballet school and teacher children are around the age of 6 at grade 1.
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.
For a year. If they really struggled in the first year maybe take extra lessons the following year.
it will take 27,000 years for them to learn ballet b ecause they probably suck
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?
There is no particular level. :) Just make sure you take at least 2 years of ballet before you build the muscle memory and experience to advance to that level.

Keep practicing!! take many classes of ballet until you advance to pointe. Once you are older you will be able to attend conventions and competitions where you will be recognized.

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.
