diddi dance turns 18!

by

Wow, diddi dance is celebrating its 18th birthday!

Anne-Marie Martin, founder of diddi dance says “I can’t believe diddi dance is an adult! Having started the very first class back in 2003 I’d have never thought it would be where it is today 18 years later! The thought of the very first diddi dancers now being in their twenties makes me not only feel very old but also very proud. Giving children a healthy and happy start in life is still our main passion”. 

Join us on facebook and instagram where we will be celebrating throughout the month of November.
