That wasn't too difficult, was it?! Well done. You've just joined your first Ballet class. Now for all the basic information you'll cover while learning Ballet...

Please note that, at the beginners stage, it's not necessary to get too hung up on the names of the individual positions. There are many different schools of Ballet, and loads of different teaching methods. Your Ballet teacher may call some of these positions by different names. Don't panic! Just concentrate on how well you execute the step, and not on what its name is.
