The Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, founded in 1994 by Professor Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, is the centre of academic and performance excellence housed at the University of Limerick, Ireland. 

The Academy honours the energies of performance  and academic reflection across a wide range of genres and disciplines. These in turn are informed by innovative community outreach and artist-in-residence initiatives that take the Academy to the wider community while attracting a wealth of international performance and scholarly expertise.

Established in 2013, Dance Limerick is a dedicated centre for art where movement and choreography are at the centre of the work. We create opportunities for artists, individuals and communities, to discover and participate in dance.
