\n <\/i>\n I love that Wainsgate handles serious ideas and has a sense of humour.\nIt has been made into a generous and necessary place and it will evolve as everyone learns what a dance based place with a clear focus can bring both to a community and the growth of an art form.\n\nIt is just the kind of place I want to meet people in and watch dance and dancers in that wonderful big, square high room.\n\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n \"siobhan-220x203\"\n
