⚡️The Cassette gang, back in 2013! Which now feels like 1983. Jazz-hands pumping in my front yard, before embarking on our first Mullum Music Fest. Mount Chincogan in the background then, and now. That mountain has been there through so much!

⚡️📸Cassette clan Jodee, Cass, Jess, Zoe, Kyla, Jo, Georgi, Josh and myself. Each of whom have gone on to transform and evolve in various ways.

🎉⚡️With ‘Celebration’ by Kool and the Gang, which I choreographed in three parts: the formal dresses, the aerobics and the asymetric punkies.

💃🏻⚡️Yass! Final places for The Cassettes’ last hurrah of 2026 💖. It is going to be a banger. 🐬Only 1 spot left in Ocean Shores. Link to both classes 👇🏼.

⚡️Bangalow Weds 6.00PM starts Oct 21.
⚡️Ocean Fri 9.30AM, starts Oct 23.
🎉Both classes included with 1 booking: choose home base.
💃🏻Ends with friendly showclass, Dec 2.

⚡️Those who’ve done Cassettes know we love our retro music due to it being the most euphoric and varied…and also stray into all kinds of genres! This time with PJ Harvey’s 2000 ‘We Float’; and the greatest 80s song of all time ‘We Built this City’. Fun!

⚡️💗’There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.’

😍Still true. Looking forward to sharing more Dopamine Dancing at Cassettes in our upcoming term 4 ✨.

🎶Featuring Starship, PJ Harvey, and plenty of B.P.E.*

💫Choreography, exercise, a group bond and creativity help me get out of my head, and into my body. I’m someone who needs that escape hatch 🎉.

💀Life is not inherently serious, contrary to what the limited, logical, reductive part of our brains might insist 🤖🧠.

💡You cannot think your way into a better mood. You can ‘shift the energy’ through embodiment. Shakin’ the limbs and waggling the buttocks in unison, dance, has been done since the dawn of humanity for a reason. Including community.

💃🏻In my experience, dance with choreography is particularly good at flipping our mind into a more useful perspective, while also toning the buns. This is because the brain is engaged and redirected: given a holiday in a wonderful strange new place🏝️. So it can’t worry and fret.

⚡️🎉Good choreography is fun, a little suprising, and challenging. I like to teach choreography using metaphors, because then the movements feel meaningful, they’re easier to remember, and certain qualities and emotions can be conjured.

💃🏻⚡️So I’d love you to join me and our fantabulous Bangalow Weds 6PM and Ocean Shores Fri 9.30AM dancers this term, starting Oct 21 and 23.

🙀One spot left in Ocean Shores👀🏃🏼‍♀️

*BPE = Big p***y energy. It’s where you stand tall, make shapes and take up space. Express yourself, be embodied, engage the senses, share imperfections and get on with the important job of being alive.

⚡️Would we be who we are without this song?

I would melt into the teev and BECOME the desperation, the hope, the hip-swaying you-got-this.

⚡️💗🌈A jolly and sweet time was had at Cassettes with Guest Teacher, Katy Woods Katy 🧜🏼‍♀️.

🌬️Scarf swishing to Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Gypsy’ and drag strutting 💃🏻, as you do.

💫Always so lovely to be open to new experiences, and to reconnect with magical, top-shelf beings. Thanks Katy⚡️.

⚡️💖The warmth and fun of this crew 🎉.

The Cassettes’ beg-int dancers are a connected community, who always make me feel supported.

🌸⚡️🍑They bring lavendar posies from their garden; hot-glue neon tassles to their denim butts; and come to class when feeling fantastic or flat: which I so appreciate. It’s ok to be how we actually are…and self-acceptance is contagious 💗🤘🏼.

⚡️💃🏻Grateful for dance, an underrated miracle drug. It hits the spot when you’re feeling meh, or yeh 💫.

⚡️And sometimes we dance 80s rock: it’s the silliest, funnest, and most endorphin bursting of musical genres.

😍Our 7-week Cassette dance terms end with a celebratory, zero pressure, total joy showclass, with a fantabulous dress-up theme.

⚡️This term we a grunge + 80s rock salvaged costume invitation: think tassels, punky plaid, black rock tee, denim. I LOVE the creative interpretations.

😍My honour to lead these sparkly everyday heroes (Cassettes are sparkly even in brooding darks 🤘🏼✨💖).

📸Big thanks to drummer girl for capturing 💗

⚡️Nature flashmob. Play to the end and let me know: which song goes best? 🎶

I’m partial to John Paul Young! And How Bizarre, which suits every dance and scene.
