Petites

The Thomas Studio’s Petite Performers program is dedicated to our dancers ages 18 months–6 years. Research has shown that children best build knowledge and skills through a continuous and spiraling process of instruction. Our program is organized in this spiral form, allowing children to actively build new learning and understanding on their prior knowledge. Our two, three, and four year olds are all separated into their own classes focusing on their particular age and developmental needs.

The Petite Performers program is designed to offer children opportunities to learn a routine, receive positive reinforcement for understanding and participating in that routine, and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Simple tasks like entering the room alone, placing their very own dance bag in its proper place, following the leader, and taking turns help a young dancer to develop skills that will be beneficial throughout their life. Our students enjoy a playful and loving environment where cognitive, language, and social skills will be enhanced as fun and exciting dance steps are introduced.
