diddi dance Welcomes Newest Franchisee for the Tower Hamlets area
We are over the moon to welcome another franchisee to the diddi dance network, Kerryann Cope will be opening diddi dance Tower Hamlets!
Hi, I’m Kerryann! I became a diddi dance franchisee in 2023 just as my daughter was turning 3, and I was letting my nursing registration lapse. I had been working as a registered nurse in a variety of fields (including paediatrics, travel health, and palliative/ end of life care) for over 20 years. The combination of having my miracle baby, and the covid pandemic, caused me to reconsider my career trajectory and venture.
I have always danced! Ballet and contemporary dance through my childhood, and 5 rhythms and freedom dance in my adulthood. It feels like I am circling back to a childhood dream of being a dance teacher for children, and the fun levels in diddi dance are off the scale!
I am so grateful to have had my own diddi as inspiration to find dance classes, and I hope all the grown-ups as well the children who come to my classes have as much fun as I do.”.
Booking is now open for diddi dance Tower Hamlets and the first class is just a couple of weeks away so book your space now.
We wish Kerryann the very best of luck with the launch of her franchise.
If you would like to know more about owning your very own diddi dance, our next Open Day is scheduled for 14th December, why not come along to find out more or check out our franchise page.

We are thrilled to welcome our newest franchisee to the diddi dance network, Carey Viller who will be running diddi dance Lewisham.
Carey says “The Performing Arts have always been a passion of mine, from writing plays to creating dance routines from young. During my A Levels, I performed in the Noel Coward Theatre alongside stars such as Christopher Eccleston (the 9th Doctor Who). I honestly adore being an entertainer. I’ve taught diddi dance for 7 years and now have my own franchise for the Lewisham borough. Alongside this I also work on TikTok with over half a million followers. Teaching the arts is something I’ve always wanted to do and diddi dance allows me to encourage the children in the right direction to have confidence and set them up for later life.”
Booking is now open for Carey’s classes which start next week, so do get in touch if you’d like your little one to join. You can visit her page for all the latest information.
