Hide AdEstablished in 1956 by the legendary Irene Langlands , Stenhouse School of Dance began with classes in the Plough Hotel, Stenhousemuir and has expanded over the years to include classes in many different genres of dance at a number of locations, including The Studio, Melville Lane, Falkirk, the Dobbie Hall, Main Street, Larbert and Bo’ness Town Hall.
Over the years hundreds of children have taken exams in ballet, modern, tap, freestyle and acrobatic. They have also taken part in cabarets, charity events, dance displays and helped raise thousands of pounds for various charities.
Many former Stenhouse pupils have appeared in all the major musical theatre shows in London and touring companies or earn their living as professional dancers or choreographers, while others are now dance teachers in schools or colleges all over the world.
Stenhouse Dance World Cup team is sponsored by the MGA Academy of Performing Arts, who also provided them with their colourful outfits for the finals.
