Offering classes in Dance, Drama, Musical Theatre and Cheerleading

Fun, friendly environment for individuals to explore different aspects of Performing Arts.

Scruffy Mutt Theatre established in 2016. The family run company started with only two sessions a week, quickly expanding to offer sessions every evening.

The company offers drama classes for all ages, regular producing shows in local theatres. To date we are the only local youth theatre to have performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, receiving 4 & 5* reviews from professional critics for productions on ‘A Clockwork Orange’, ‘The Red Shoes’ and ‘Milkshake’. The company have a 100% pass rate for LAMDA Examinations in all levels.

Scruffy Mutt Dance Company (SMDC competition teams) opened with one team of six girls. Currently, we have over 50 members, representing Falmouth, Cornwall and England at international events. Recent achievements include: European Grand Champions at Disneyland Paris and winners in all categories in Barcelona. Our next stop is Los Angeles in April 2022.

Many of our dancers take part in workshops with celebrity choreographers, West End performers as well as local practitioners.

Scruffy Mutt Cheerleading (SMC) have three teams for different age groups and compete nationally (for the young teams) and internationally for our senior team. The athletes have won many titles, including ‘national winners’ at the biggest cheer event in the UK (Bournemouth Internationals).

We also offer many more classes for beginners or children/adults that want to be part of a friendly team.

There’s something for everyone at Scruffy Mutt!

A word from the director:

“I moved to Cornwall to continue studying as a choreographer at Falmouth University. I have worked professionally in the industry since a young age and wanted to see what other companies in Falmouth and the surrounding areas were offering.

As a dance mum myself, I wanted my daughter to be in an environment that was friendly, fun, but also disciplined and ambitious, providing opportunities for her to grow. We struggled to find the right combination. That is when I noticed a gap in the market for children like her.

I am proud to say that Scruffy Mutt provides a warm, inclusive and family focused atmosphere for participants, enabling them to push themselves to become the best they can be.”
