diddi dance Celebrates 2022

December 31, 2022 by Helena Rigby

Wow, what a year 2022 has been!

We have welcomed 4 new franchisees to the diddi dance crew – Kirsty Barker of diddi dance Central & North Liverpool &  South Knowsley, Naomi Sumner of diddi dance Southport, Sefton & West Lancashire, Sophie Barnard of diddi dance Winchester & Gosport and JoJo Sikking of diddi dance Woodford, Walthamstow & Surrounding.

We were stronger together at our first in person conference since 2019 which was just amazing, launched our fabulous clothing range and celebrated our 19th birthday.

We were proud to be nominated for various industry awards and to attend the British Franchise Awards as Lifestyle Finalist 2022 and were awarded the 5 Star Franchise Satisfaction for the 9th year running. To end the year we were listed in the Elite Franchise Top 100 Franchises for the 6th year running.

We have of course danced our way through the year with all our amazing diddi dance families, including at The Cambridge Club Festival, Camp Bestival Dorset and our first at Camp Bestival Shropshire, the CAA Kindness Week and Gabby’s Dollhouse diddi disco week.

A huge thank you to everyone who been part of our 2022! 

We wish you all a very Happy New Year and look forward to what 2023 will bring.
