There is a Google map on the Class Schedule & Map page.

Though our website domain is tiernanmontana.com and we have some ties to the Butte school, this website pertains only to our Helena school, which is operated by different people than the Butte school.  You can find information about the Butte school at this link: Tiernan Butte.

We are not associated with any other dance schools in Montana and will likely not be able to provide reliable information about them.  You might try Google.

Administration Fee:
This annual fee is used for school operations.  It is based on attendance frequency:

$50/family for dancers attending one class per week
$65/family for dancers attending two classes per week
$80/family for dancers attending more than two classes per week

For those families with more than one dancer, the fee is based on the sibling dancing at the highest level.

Online payment for this fee is not available.  You will make payment locally in Helena.  We accept only personal checks and/or cash for this fee.

Tuition:
Tuition costs vary, depending on your choices of class and payment schedule (whole year vs. quarterly).  Our site is designed to process tuition orders based on these choices.  You will send tuition payments directly to our out-of-state bookkeeper.  Please do not submit tuition payment to us locally and ask us to forward it to our bookkeeper, as this transaction is to be conducted between you and the bookkeeper.  See the Tuition Policy page for more information.

You will receive detailed instructions on how to pay the administration fee and tuition after your Website and School Application has been approved.  Please do not submit any payments until we have approved your application.

See the Class Schedule & Map page.

The whole-year tuition payment option on our Website and School Application forms will be available at the beginning of next season.

Cork/Derry #1 and Cork/Derry #3 classes are FULL and we are not taking additional students in these classes.

We recommend athletic leggings or shorts and T-shirt.  River dancers may wear black ballet slippers.  Beginner Cork dancers need ghillies (special Irish dance soft-soled shoes).

You are welcome to observe classes in progress, but please Contact Us us in advance to make arrangements.
