Our annual winter exams are a highlight for us - we love hosting all of you incredible dancers who study so hard for these exams and are taking this important step in your Irish dance journey! Our staff is committed to helping you any way we can and making this an enjoyable experience for everyone.
All exams take place in one of our studio rooms complete with sprung floors and marley. We have a large waiting room area for you to warm up and relax while you wait your turn. The week of our exam, you'll receive a time schedule. We have always run our exams on time, so you don't need to worry about a long wait.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions! After having hosted exams several times, we've learned a lot and hope we can use our knowledge to make this as easy as possible for you. Questions can be sent to Faith Irwin:

EXAM REFUND POLICIES: Typically, refunds are not issued because exam expenses have already been paid for your spot months in advance of the exam. However, we will issue a 95% refund to dancers for COVID-19 cancellations including a government closure of our event, or if you are in quarantine due to a positive test or close contact. The remaining 5% will be kept to cover the online processing fees that were already paid for and can't be refunded to us. If you need to withdrawal for injury or another reason, please contact us.
