    I do not understand how an instructional video titled, “Ballet 101”, could leave out third position.

    They say: "Third position is used at a beginner level to get to fifth". I'm not sure how often you use 3rd position. But we rarely do.

    @@chamallow989 Did you not read the comment? It is used at a BEGINNER level to get to fifth. That's the whole reason you're doing third position, the moment you stop being a beginner you will never ever in your ballet-career use third position unless you're injured and then only so you can get back to fifth.

    ​@@theAbsurdLogician Yes. But '101' is the designation given to the BEGINNING of a course. Call it 'Advanced foot positions' if you're just going to skip the beginner stuff.

    Looks beautiful but also painful. Can’t imagine anyone does this beyond age 30

    its not meant to hurt actually. all basic ballet positions should be done to a natural en dehors (turnout) actually there is a large community for adults dancers, not only learning ballet. 🙂

    I went to an adult ballet class and there were people from 18 to over 60. It was my first time and the 60 year old lady looked much more gracious than me.
