    Hi there!

    There aren’t “grades” in ballet classes that are equal across all schools, so a grade 1 in one school might be learning more beginner steps than a grade 1 at another.
    But anyways, it sounds like you are at a beginning level so you probably want to think about combinations at the barre. These would include plies (bending at the knees), tendus (glide your foot on the floor into a point), degages (like a tendu, but lifted off the floor a little) and ronde jambes (circle movements with your leg).

    BalletHub looks to have a pretty big ballet dictionary you can check out too: http://ballethub.com/ballet-terms-dictionary/

    Good luck!! :)
