Principal Ballet Academy is an adult ballet school for Markham students. The studio is in King City, at 25 Doctors Lane inside King City Lions Arena. From north Markham, including Angus Glen and Cachet, Major Mackenzie Drive west to Keele and then north to King Road is often about 25 to 35 minutes. South Markham, closer to Highway 7, is often 35 to 45 minutes.

North Markham can take Major Mackenzie west to Keele, then Keele north to King Road. From Highway 404, Highway 400 north to King Road is the other route. Free parking is beside King City Lions Arena.

An adult program

Teachers work with adult bodies and offer modifications. Beginners are expected, including a Thursday 10:00am Intro to Ballet. Tuesday at 10:00am is Elementary, Saturday classes start at 9:30am, and evening classes run Monday to Thursday. The RAD exam program is available with teacher approval.

First visit

Use the far-right door and go up to the second floor. Ballet slippers help, and socks are fine if you are trying a class.
