Anime about the background of the poems and their authors: Chōyaku Hyakunin isshu: Uta Koi (超訳百人一首 うた恋い)
Here's the conclusion of the Dan/Kyu System (If you watch Chihayafuru, you might be familiar with the Kyu System, so here you go):
A class > 4-dan and above
B class > 3-dan
C class > 2-dan
D class > 1-dan
E class > Beginner
You can get up to 8-dan, anything above that is "honorary". In order to get to 8-dan, you basically need to be a Queen or Meijin.
