DANCING IN THE STREETS Ok, not strictly in the streets, more at Dance Base’s new space at the Thomas Morton Hall in Leith, but here at List Towers we’re excited nonetheless.

Not just a handy hangout for Leithers, the space will boast a weekly programme of at least 21 dance classes.

We are excited to be a part of it again.’
