The classical bun is the standard hair style for the ballet dancer.  Although a bun may be low, centred, or high, a true classical bun should be centred on the back of the head.  If you draw a diagonal line along your cheekbones and just above your ears, you should find the right place.  Try to keep your bun flat to your head, and be sure it is carefully secured (you never want your hair to 'fall out' during a class, rehearsal, or performance).  Keep to the following directions and you will have classical bun success!
