The University of Michigan's first Irish Dance group was started in the winter of 2000 by a group of five students. Having been trained in Irish Dance at various levels, they sought to create an opportunity for others like them to continue dancing upon arriving at the University and to teach those who had never had the chance to do so before.
Since that time we have progressed to a full-fledged performance group of 25 members, gaining an official name and recognition both on and off campus. Léim can be seen at various Celtic festivals around the state of Michigan, multicultural events on campus, and their annual full-length solo show at Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, MI.
