That class was an absolute joy! Thank you for the work you put into making it so special.
Kat Matheison – Cassette dancer, Byron and Bangalow
I really love the vibe of positivity and community you’ve created at The Cassettes. I love coming every week and even if I haven’t had the best day, by the time I get to class I feel so much better, and then after class, on top of the world! It’s an awesome sweaty workout too, but the best part for me is the people, the music and the funky, entertaining dance moves! Such a fun way to have some ‘me time’ and get some exercise! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

When I deliberately pull my face and…
