Annabella is the owner of Mixtape studios and the super-babe who carried us through the worst of the pandemic. Her positivity, energy, comedy and unshakeable work ethic was a life raft in some of the most troubled times we've lived through. Mixtape studio was our anchor whilst we were tossed about in the flotsam and jetsam of the unknown. Annabella created intimacy and family when we were all feeling disconnected.

Like many creative businesses, Mixtape Studios was dealt a blow financially when Annabella had to move classes online. The government COVID support packages, whilst helpful, still left Mixtape in an uncomfortable position. The grant was only enough for HALF of the renovations needed to upgrade the studio space and dancefloor.

Annabella has remained extraordinarily positive and flexible through the whole ordeal. She continues to push the studio and herself to give the best experience possible to the mixtape family. Her gift to us.

It is time to give back.

We are raising funds to pay off the second half of the renovations. Can you help out? Perhaps the cost of a class or 2? If the whole Mixtape community pitches in, I know we will have this paid off and celebrate together on the dancefloor!
