We've decided to host a 2nd exam this year to help give dancers opportunities to work toward that can still easily be done with social distancing (everyone kept 6 feet apart at all times, plus additional protocols you will be informed of closer to the time). We're looking forward to this - 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. You'll receive a schedule the week before the exam. 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: faithirwin@hooleyirishdance.com

AUGUST EXAM REFUND POLICIES: Typically, refunds have not been issued. However, we wish to plan ahead for the slim but not unprecedented possibility that our exams could be canceled by government policies outside of our control. If our exams are canceled for us (for example if PA goes back into stay-at-home orders in Phase Red), registrants will receive a 95% refund. The remaining 5% will be kept to cover the online processing fees that were already paid for and can't be refunded to us.
Additionally, we are aware that some students are unable to plan ahead for August currently because they don't know if they will be away at school or home doing online school, or because they don't know if their dance studios will be open to provide adequate preparation for the exam. If you need to cancel due to COVID-19 changes, you can receive a 75% refund through July 31st. After July 31st, our schedule and final plans will be completed and we will be unable to accommodate any refunds.
