  • Cassettes Private Workshop: The team had such a fun time, it was the perfect mix of joy/fun and team building. Afterward the whole team was laughing/ happy/relaxed and said how much they enjoyed themselves. It was just what we all needed.

    Amy Moyes, Program Manager, Brighter Futures Far North Coast, Consortium of Neighbourhood Centres

  • Thank you all so so much for an incredible show last night – everyone was absolutely blown away! You really know how to get the party started.  HUGE thanks!

  • This is the happiest dance class of my entire life.  Thank you!

    Robbie Wood – Mullumbimby CasSweats student and recent retiree

  • Thank you!!!  I had the best fun ever and floated all the way home.  It’s been over a decade since I’ve done a proper dance class like that…. You are all so amazing & the class was magical.  Thank you for re-igniting my flame.

    Damara Ryder – Flashmob Dancer, mediator and mum

  • When Marissa teaches, she has an amazing technique: her students can really feel her creativity coming through.  Riss has a gift for describing dance moves that make them easy for anyone to learn.  She provides a beautiful and safe space for people to not only get fit, learn dance, but also to express themselves and feel connected with a group of people.

    Cassette Dancer, Jemima

  • The best thing I did this year.
    Thank you for making dreams come true.
    Dancing alongside such delightful, positive women, full of encouragement.
    You all made me feel that I could do it.
    Such a wonderful experience.

    Jenny Shields – Byron Mix Tape Dancer

  • I absolutely loved my first Cassette’s class!! I’ve been wanting to do it for years and I’m so happy I did it.  I’m hooked now! It’s so fun and positive and energetic. The teachers are fantastic! So much knowledge, positivity and sunshine just radiates from these gorgeous ladies. The finale night was so much fun and my family and I had a ball! Thank you from the whole of my heart to all the Cassettes team, my self esteem and confidence, my fitness and my zest for life has sky rocketed dancing with you all! I can’t wait to do it again in 2020! I’m all booked in and ready to go!! Wahoooo!!!

    Amanda McHugh – Byron Mix Tape dancer, mother and author

Soon, 78,000 seventeen to eighteen-year-olds will sit the HSC. Then they’ll rock a frock or fine suit at their formal, and be done with school forever. For…

This Christmas, may your mangoes be…
