We at diddi dance would like to take a moment to congratulate our Franchise Director, Rebecca Duschl, on being selected as a finalist for The Franchise Show 2014 Woman Franchisor employee of the Year Award.
This award is about “recognising the most successful franchisor woman employee during 2013” and since she has been with diddi dance, Rebecca has done nothing but support and encourage the success of the company.
In January 2013 Rebecca took on the role of Regional Franchise Manager for East Anglia & South of England and through her initiative and previous Marketing experience she helped the company have its biggest growth since launching as a franchise. Then in September 2013 diddi dance officially promoted Rebecca to Franchise Director, not only to help steer new franchisees into the company with ease but to also help current franchisees in whatever manner necessary to increase their growth, as well. Rebecca has said about being a finalist “I am truly honoured to have been nominated by my fellow diddi dancers and hope that I can only continue to impress & encourage those I work with.”
The Awards, which will be held on Thursday, 22 May at RBS House in London, are a chance to provide an exciting opportunity for the recognition of women’s development in franchising and others in the industry who have contributed to women in franchising. Both Rebecca and diddi dance Founder Anne-Marie Martin will be attending the awards with their fingers, arms and legs crossed.
If you would like to attend the awards you can apply for tickets simply by visit the EWIF website and filling in the application form.
And don’t forget to wish Rebecca good luck!!!

At diddi dance we recently conducted some research into adult’s awareness of the amount of physical activity their child should be engaged in. Shockingly 93% of adults were completely unaware that children under the age of 5 should be physically active for at least 3 hours a day!
Looking into adult’s perspectives on children’s exercise, we uncovered that over a third of Brits (34%) believe that children under 5 years old should be getting only 30 minutes of physical activity a day. What’s more, one in seven (14%) believe that young children don’t need to exercise because they run around enough as it is.

We asked Anne Marie Martin, founder of Diddi Dance, how she felt on Diddi Dance’s 10th Birthday
“I am thrilled to be celebrating 10 years of Diddi Dance. I still remember the first Diddi Dancers I ever taught! They are now over 11 years old. We keep in touch with many of our original Diddi dancers and it is always tremendous to hear that they are still enjoying dance and keeping active as they get older.
Diddi Dance classes have developed and grown organically over the years. From humble beginnings writing our own songs to now teaching 14 different dance styles. Children as young as 16 months old enjoy our sessions.
diddi dance celebrates being the winner for favourite pre-school classes on the Netmums website!
Here at diddi dance HQ we are so very proud of our Franchisees that were singled out from the hundreds of pre-school activities, by MUMS themselves, to be finalists for the ‘favourite pre-school classes’ in their respective areas.
