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.
