Léim's Exhibition Team performs throughout the school year, and even during the summer, depending on availability. We do guest performances on campus and around the local Ann Arbor area.

Dancing Across the Globe

The UM Institute for the Humanities invited Léim to participate at “Dancing Across the Globe”. A workshop-style event, we shared Irish dance history and taught basic Irish steps and routines to members of the UM community.

Midnight Madness 2024

Again this December, members of Léim came out to entertain holiday shoppers in downtown Ann Arbor. As part of the Midnight Madness celebration, dancers and musicians braved the cold and performed multiple choreographies outside for over 2 hours. We had such a good time combining the holiday cheer with our Irish spirit!
