News from diddi dance Eastbourne, Uckfield & Hastings!

May 8, 2014 by Rebecca

Joanna diddi danceJoanna who runs diddi dance Eastbourne, Uckfield & Hastings is taking part in the Eastbourne Sports Festival 2014, which is being held by the local council in partnership with the NSPCC. Essentially, there’s a variety of sports and activities on offer across several sports sites in Eastbourne over the weekend of 17th & 18th May and anyone can try any of them for just £1 each! Visit http://www.eastbournesportsfestival.btck.co.uk/ for more information.

Also that weekend, Joanna has arranged for a group of diddi mums and her to take part in the Chestnut Tree House Midnight Walk 2014 – a ladies only 10 mile walk at midnight (as it would suggest) along Eastbourne seafront to raise money for Chestnut Tree House. This our only children’s hospice in Sussex – and the charity that Joanna raised money for at her diddi dance 10th Birthday party last summer. Good luck Joanna and diddi mums!

Next, on Saturday 24th May, Joanna will be providing diddi dance entertainment for the little ones at Jack’s Dream’s Teddy Bears Picnic in St Leonards.  Jack’s Dream is a small local charity that provides financial and emotional support to families who have lost a little one at an early age.  The money raised goes towards Memorial Headstones for the bereaved families, amongst other things. Visit http://www.jacksdream.org/upcoming-events.html for more information.

From what we have heard there is a lot more happening in diddi dance Eastbourne, Uckfield & Hastings in the next few months so we will keep you posted and hopefully you can get involved as well!

 

Once again, Good luck Joanna and diddi dance Eastbourne, Uckfield & Hastings with everything you have coming up!

Amanda Holden brings her daughter to diddi dance!

May 3, 2014 by Rebecca

Recently, in a Radio Times article, Amanda Holden discussed how she spends her time and mentioned diddi dance:

“My children don’t suffer. They have their dad, and when I’m not working I’m a full-time mum – monkey music, diddi dance. I shake my maracas with the best of them.” Time to return to being a mum. “You need to finish your cupcake,” she chides. Micromanaging?

Also, in the recent June issue of Woman and Home, she once again spoke about all the activities she does with her daughter Hollie – including diddi dance!

diddi dance’s Franchise Director is a Finalist in the 2014 NatWest EWIF Awards!

April 17, 2014 by Rebecca

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.

EWIF Award 2014 Finalist - Franchise Show Woman Franchisor Employee of the Year

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!!!

Join our Campaign to get children moving!

January 9, 2014 by Rebecca

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.
