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.

Administrative Fee:
This fee is $50 per dance year.  It is used to cover costs associated with operating our dance school.  One fee covers all dancers in a family.  Online payment for this fee is not currently available.  You will make this 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 (yearly 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 administrative 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.

It’s most likely not too late to get started after the regular enrollment period, but please Contact Us to confirm this in your case.

Application is online only.  The form is here: Website and School Application Form.

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.
