Ms Thomas founded B.Muse Inc, a not for profit corporation to support her passion for choreography and dance education. B. Muse, Inc. provided dance programs, lecture demonstrations and performances to schools in Harlem, the South Bronx, and throughout Upper Manhattan.

Ms. Thomas began teaching dance to children in 1993 and developed an approach that was utilized by many studios and pre-schools throughout the city. Ms. Thomas introduced her toddler program to The School at Steps, under the title “Little Steps” in 2000. In 2002, she became full-time at The School at Steps in the position of Registrar, became Co-Director in 2003 and in 2004 was named the Director.
