diddi dance Partners with Macmillan Cancer Support

June 8, 2015 by Rebecca

diddi dancers across the UK Dress Up and Dance to battle Cancer

We want all our diddi dancers to put on their dancing shoes this June as our classes have partner up with Macmillan Cancer Support to get little ones moving and grooving in aid of the charity’s Dress Up And Dance campaign.

didi dance - dress up 6

The national campaign is a perfect fit for us and we hope it will see parents & children don colourful, creative and whacky fancy dress to attend our classes all next week. To celebrate this year’s theme of ‘legends’, we will continue with our specially themed rock and roll classes encouraging families across the UK to show their best dance moves and rock out in their favourite costumes.

Founder of diddi dance, Anne-Marie Martin commented:

We are so proud and excited to be involved in Macmillan’s fantastic Dress Up And Dance campaign, it is a natural fit with our weekly dance classes and dressing up is something that we know all our little ones and families will thoroughly enjoy.

Macmillan is a charity that is especially close to our hearts and resonates with the whole diddi dance team as one of our very close colleagues was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year. The work of the charity to support everyone affected by cancer is truly remarkable and we hope that the money we raise next week helps Macmillan to continue their worthwhile and essential work to support those affected by cancer.

From Saturday 13 to Friday 19 June, diddi dance classes across the UK will be taking part in Macmillan Cancer Support’s Dress Up and Dance campaign. All we ask in return is a small donation for this wonderful charity. To find your local diddi dance class just click here.

“I was over the moon to hear I had made it through to the next stage of the What’s On 4 Awards. To feel valued by our lovely diddi dance parents makes it totally worthwhile.
I’m also very proud of my teacher Hannah making it through, as well, and thank her for her commitment and hard work.
To make the finals would be a fantastic achievement. ” – Nicola

“I am absolutely thrilled to be nominated for the ‘most outstanding activity award leader-South’.

“I love being part of the diddi dance team. Knowing that the parents and grandparents who bring their children to class believe we deserve the recognition by nominating diddi dance as best national preschool class is the icing on the cake – being nominated myself as best preschool leader in the south is the cherry on the top! Thank you, thank you!” – Louise

“I am thrilled to have been nominated again this year as it’s a true validation of what we do at diddi dance. The fact that others enjoy our classes enough that they have taken the time to nominate us let’s me know it’s not just me having all the fun in class!

Win HOME Goodies with diddi dance!

March 14, 2015 by Rebecca

To celebrate the cinema release of Home, previewing Mother’s Day weekend on 14th & 15th March, we’re giving ten diddi dancers the chance to win a batch of Home goodies, including a t-shirt, wristband, glitter globe, yo-yo, light-up pen, headphones, umbrella and more!

When Oh (Jim Parsons), a loveable misfit from another planet, lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people, the Boov, he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip (Rihanna) who is on a quest of her own. Through a series of comic adventures with Tip, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human. And while he changes her planet and she changes his world, they discover the true meaning of the word HOME. 

One thing Oh learns from Tip is how much fun it is to dance – though he’s not sure about it at first! Take a look at this clip of Oh hearing music for the first time and losing control as he gets his ‘Boov Groove’ on.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=jusctZhtx7A

For the chance to win one of our ten sets of goodies, we want you to share your own favourite dance moves! Whether it’s at your diddi dance class or at home, send us a snap of you throwing your greatest Boov Groove Move.

diddi dance at Move It and The Baby Show

February 27, 2015 by Rebecca

diddi dance just spent the last two weekends exhibiting at Move It and The Baby Show, Excel. We had so much fun we wanted to tell you all about it!

Move It is one of the UK’s biggest dance events, with over 24,000 dancers attending over three days with performances, classes, advice and shopping all available to them. We at diddi dance have been going along for the past 3 years to help get the brand seen and known more in the world of dance. This year Move It celebrated its 10th year going, and we could not have been happier to be apart of the experience this year.

Founder, Anne-Marie, really enjoys going to Move It as it is a chance for her to see old students who have gone on to do great things in the dance world and meet tons of new people, including celebrities, in the dance world and tell them all about how great diddi dance is.

If you are interested interested in going along to Move It in 2016 and seeing us there just click here for more information.

***

At the Baby Show this past weekend we met some amazing people, not just on our stand but also at the Activity Zone where we held free sessions twice a day to show those who attended what we were all about, while giving their toddlers a chance to have some fun of their own while the grown-ups could rest their feet 😉

While there we met some amazing people. First we met a great dad, Al B-c1jAHIYAAfH8PFerguson, who runs the blog The Dad Network. His son Teddy, who mind you is only about 7 months old, came along to almost all our diddi dance sessions we ran on the Activity Zone while at Excel. His favourite part was the hula hoop, which luckily we had a size perfect for him to use. We also had Sofia tumblr_inline_nk7thpFUuC1rjs63nGouveia come along with her daughter Suri at the end of the day to let her enjoy the bubbles.

Lastly, Laura from Mummy’s Zone came along with her son, Oscar. She had some great things to say about diddi dance: “Oscar loved it dancing with hoops, ribbons and pom poms.blogger-image--369788190 The classes looked great and they have them all over the country, I know Oscar would love to go along.” All these parents took the time to mention us on their blogs so please have a read of each. B-SzOqFIIAASfk8

Laura and Oscar also came along with Kelly Finn from More Than Just a Mummy who brought her daughter Tia who loved diddi dance and mum Kelly took some great photos of us in action too!

Thanks again to you all for taking the time to see what we do and mention us to others 🙂

We at diddi dance go along to all three Baby Show so if you are interested in attending one of the future shows and having fun with us on the Activity Zone click here for more information on all the shows over the next year.

 ***

While at Excel, Anne-Marie also had the time to stop by The Franchise Show and give a talk about buying a children’s franchise and why it might be right for you, on behalf of EWIF. This was just one of many great talks given at the show by EWIF members over the weekend. If you are looking for some advice on your business or buying into one then EWIF is a great place to start.

Visit their site today for more information or attend a local meeting if you can.
