NOT-FOR-PROFIT STATEMENT

We operate a unique model. We use our members’ fees to fund students and support their families facing financial challenges. We like to refer to this as turning ‘fees into hope and opportunity’. We’re a not-for-dividend company – reinvesting the majority of our profits back into our social mission. With no shareholders to answer to we’re free to dedicate ourselves to the task of promoting the well-being of all children.

Superarts Star Of The Week...

OUR SUPERARTS STAR OF THE WEEK............watch this space for our new Star of the Week - to resume in the Spring Term 2022

Superarts Academy, affectionately known as RENIE'S, the founder being Irene Hayes BEM, was founded in 1962. Superarts is dedicated to working with children through dance and performance, and we are dedicated to the creative potential of every child regardless of race, culture, socio-economic or religious background.

 

This ethos is fundamental to the approach of the teachers and to the classes from jazz to tap, street to acro/gym, and musical theatre.

In a safe environment, the young people attending Superarts are given the experiences and tools to:

  • exercise and dance
  • enjoy themselves
  • identify and develop skills in dance, creativity, musicality and performance
  • experience the joy of dance and encourage a life enhancing relationship to the arts
  • explore and develop a kinetic intelligence and an understanding of how their body’s move
  • co-operate and interact with peers from different backgrounds and age-groups
  • assume some responsibility for their learning and development
  • take responsibility for their behaviour
  • develop the ability to communicate their ideas and emotions through dance
  • become aware of the importance of music and its relationship with dance
  • improve their self-confidence and develop a sense of who they are
  • explore and develop an understanding of the processes involved in creating and performing a dance piece
  • develop an awareness of healthy living and thereby healthy choices
  • challenge their perceptions in a safe and non-judgemental environment

  

Thus the classes are fun, disciplined, challenging, interactive and most of all creative, supportive, and nourishing.

 

With the main focus on dance in a respectful community setting, each child’s creative potential can be explored, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.
