Apart from doing around 12 or 14 hours a week in classes, our championship-level dancers give displays all over the south-east of England -- anywhere from local community centres to large venues in central London.
Television
McGahan Lees dancers have also proved a great success appearing on prime-time television, on shows such as "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" and "Big Brother".

Public/Private Displays
Public and private displays involve from 9 to 20 dancers (depending on location, time of day, size of venue, etc) and usually last from 20 -- 30 minutes. The standard is excellent, and always gets a good reception.
For paid-for displays, the organiser pays a fee, agreed in advance, and the dancers may collect donations from the audience afterwards, dividing whatever is raised equally between all dancers.
Irish dancers work very hard, and their commitment is incredible. The time spent on classes, displays and competitions mean they have very little time for a social life, while the older girls also have schoolwork and examinations to keep up with (and they do!)
If you are organising an event and would like further details, use our contact form to email the webmaster. Apart from making sure that the venue is suitable and appropriate for the dancers, we're very flexible.
