Thomas Dance Studio

Are you looking for a new & exciting activity for your child with life-long benefits? Thomas Dance Studio is a dance studio offering the following techniques:  ballet, hip-hop, gymnastics, pointe, lyrical, tap, modern and jazz.  Their specialized program consists of classes for all levels, ages 2-18, at two locations in Bridgeville and Oakdale.  Since 1967 they have been "growing dancers" and providing the highest quality professional instruction. 
Many of our readers will be interested to know they offer a specialized preschool program!
Two, three, four, and five year olds are all separated into their own classes, focusing on their particular age and developmental needs. Technique will be covered in ballet and gymnastics for all ages, and also in tap for threes, fours, and fives. They work at keeping class interesting by utilizing fun music, props, and equipment. They sing and dance to songs that children already know and love, and begin learning to perform for one another. In addition to dance and gymnastics technique, they also work on social and emotional goals. The program is designed to offer children opportunities to learn a routine, as they encourage them with positive reinforcement to learn and understand the routine, resulting in their own sense of pride and personal accomplishment. These steps will enhance their self-esteem and provide them with a positive attitude for attempting new or challenging experiences. Simple tasks like entering a room alone, placing their very own dance bag in its proper place, helping with the change of shoes, and waiting turns will help develop skills to last a lifetime. They offer 38 years of dance education, combined with child development background, to provide a fun and educational class for your child!
