The PSB Dance Academy was founded by Karen Davies Thomas in 1989.
Karen is a graduate of the National Ballet School Teachers Training Program and she holds a Bachelor of
Fine Arts Honours Degree from York University.
In its humble beginnings in 1989, PSB opened its doors to 12 young, aspiring dancers for its first season,
and the school has grown to over 400 students. PSB continues to focus on teaching classical ballet in both
the Cecchetti and the Royal Academy of Dance styles.
PSB offers classes for ages 2 to Adult. Programs include recreational, pre-professional and competitive classes,
depending on age and ability, in Ballet, National Folk, Modern, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Acro, Tap and Musical Theatre.
Among its finest dance teachers is the renowned Glenn Gilmour, former principal dancer with the National Ballet
of Canada. PSB offers intensive dance training for talented students who wish to pursue a professional
career in dance, as well as the opportunity to perform with PSB's Profile Dance Company. Because of the
excellent dance training provided at PSB, many of its students are accepted at
Canada's most prestigious dance schools: the National Ballet School of Canada, Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, Alberta
Ballet School and Quinte Ballet School. PSB offers a wide range of summer programs at both locations and students have
participated in dance study abroad. Students have also been accepted to study at the Academie
Mediterranean in Marseille.
