Superarts Academy, affectionately known as RENIE'S, (the founder Irene Hayes),is a dance school 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 acrobatics, 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.
