As a ballet instructor, this is how I teach my classes.
I always start with barre, which is usually the majority (over half) of the class. For a beginners class at your level, I would do a plie, tendu, battement degage, rond de jambe, frappe, fondu, and grand battement (all common exercises). Sometimes I will do a separate barre stretch or incorporate it into my rond de jambe combination.
Center work usually consists of a center tendu, an adagio (slow combination), and a petite allegro (fast combination with small footwork). I also work a lot on pirrouettes.
Across the floor I do a grand allegro (fast combination with large jumps), sometimes two grand allegros, work on chaine turns, and work on other basic skills across the floor.
I always end my class with a reverance, which is a bow to say thank you to your teacher and to let everyone in class know that they've done a good job today. We applaud at the end of the reverance.
I hope you enjoy ballet! It's always been my favorite!

a million. earlier class you will do a sprint stretching and warming up. 2. class particularly starts off on the barre, doing plies, tendus, fondus (particularly undemanding ballet strikes to augment your technique) 3. then you rather progression into the centre and carry out a little Port De Bras (those are kinda like dance strikes for the hands) and you'd be able to do the quite a few paintings on the barre interior the centre besides. 4. then you rather get the Pirouette section, it is popping (do not hardship although, the 1st Pirouettes you do are in Grade 3 i think of, so to procure a at a similar time as earlier that comes around. i in my opinion hate this section :D) 5. Then comes the Adage section. that's a slow moving section that helps you with flexibility and power. 6. Then that's the Petit Allegro section, it is in certainty small and neat jumps to heat you up for the bigger jumps. 7. then you rather get the Grande Allegro section, it is huge jumps. those are very exciting and encompass issues like chop up jumps and huge turning jumps. 7. regularly, you will get a dance learn, it is around a million minute long and incorporates lots of the strikes from above ^^ 8. And once you're intense sufficient, you adjust your footwear and circulate onto pointe paintings (status on your feet yet that doesn't come around until Grade 6) have exciting which includes your dancing! :)

well when i took lessons a few years ago, we would first warm up (stretches and things like that) we would then go to the barre, and practice the positions, both arm and feet. We would sometimes make up new dances as we went along in class, and would also practice our dance routine for a recital *i think most schools have at least one recital* at the end of class, we would just pretty much ask the teacher what we wanted to do at the very end (of course something to do with ballet) i really enjoyed talking ballet lessons and im sure you will 2!!! have fun!!!

Well I've been taking ballet for about three years now, so I'm pretty sure that at almost every studio starts out with barre work (Plies, teundos) then possibly floor strechs (splits), then across the floor things(turns, leaps).

Stretch out on the barre and maybe some floor excersizes...then you start learning shanee turns and bunches of other moves. Then they might make up a routine.

in reference to somebody's elses answer, teen is not too late to start ballet. if you were planning on becoming a professional ballerina it might not happen, but anybody can start just to have fun. second, every teacher teaches their classes differently. do not worry though, if you are a beginner you will be in a class with other beginners who are just like yourself. just remember to have fun!

Being associated; I offer this for reference purposes, but suggest TEEN is late to begin.
