Superarts Star Of The Week...

OUR SUPERARTS STAR OF THE WEEK.

TESTIMONIAL: DEAN LEE - FORMER STUDENT

CHOREOGRAPHER FOR X FACTOR, WORKED WITH JANET JACKSON, KYLIE MINOGUE, LEONA LEWIS, AND MANY MORE.........

"Superarts was never just a dance school, it was a place to escape from all that was wrong and discover all that I wanted to become. It was a building full of talent that was being sculpted and nourished to allow these performers to live out their dreams in all corners of the industry.

Irene and Susan were instrumental in giving me the best possible foundation to go onto the next level. They give opportunities that fill you with first-hand knowledge of the industry to make you as prepared as possible.

Superarts will always be a home and a special place to help young talent discover what they are capable of across multiple fields. To me, personally, they were so generous with the care, attention, opportunities and training, that without them, or the school as that crucial starting block, I may never have gone on to do all that I've managed to achieve".

Join now!

Superarts Academy, affectionately known as RENIE'S, the founder being Irene Hayes BEM. 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 class 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.
