Nursery and Children's Centres Sessions

Our programme has been designed to complement and enhance the Early Years Foundation stage, and has been successfully used in Nurseries and Surestart centres since it’s development seven years ago.



Why should I have dance in my setting?

Dancing for the under 4’s is not only a great way of keeping fit and active, but it’s also great fun!  Dance isn’t just for girls!  Boys want to jump around to their favourite music just as much as their female friends.  He may not want to be a ballerina or fairy but give him a toy guitar and he’s a rock and roll star!  Plus boys need tiring out just as much, if not more than girls and what better way to do this than 45 minutes of jumping, turning, galloping, moving and shaking?
With obesity rates in under 4’s at their highest right now exercise is so important to avoid this continuing into later life.  Exercise should be enjoyed.  In the first few years of every child’s life how they view exercise is instilled and their view will stay with them for life so teach them that it can be great fun.  Dance is an ideal way of doing this.  The session should be action packed and full of exciting props and catchy music so they can’t resist getting up to join in.

How do I organise a diddi dance session in my setting ?

You can organise a FREE 20 minute taster or a 45 minute class for your setting to see how much your children can benefit from diddi dance by simply contacting your local franchisee on the contact page.



"The children really enjoy the Diddi Dance sessions we have at our Family Fun Days.  The Diddi Dance teachers are professional and friendly with the children and parents.  They show an interest in the children they are working with; they engage, support and encourage children as they participate in the activities.  Our children love using the props and instruments provided.  They also learnt about colours, movement, directions, listening and instructions while playing and having fun."
