SJayz Superstars is a stage school specialising in acting, singing and dance techniques for children aged 3 to 16. Our students are confident, motivated, and creative. Our Superstars get the chance to perform on stage and we teach a wide variety of stage skills including directing and choreography. We believe in nurturing talent and losing inhibitions to become the best we can be. Our regular newsletters help to keep you well informed.
The students perform two major shows each year along with some more informal performances. This ensures they build confidence whilst having fun on stage. Our annual awards ceremonies recognise the students’ progression over the prior months with some receiving trophies to mark this progress. Some of the skills your child will learn are below.
