Wow! We are celebrating being awarded 5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction for the 10th consecutive year!
This award is based on anonymous feedback from our franchisees. Its fantastic to know that they rate our franchise opportunity so highly. Founder Anne-Marie Martin, was extremely proud to collect our award at the annual British Franchise Association conference last Thursday, making our celebrations for 20 years of diddi dance even more special.
We are thrilled to welcome our newest franchisee to the diddi dance network, Carey Viller who will be running diddi dance Lewisham.
Carey says “The Performing Arts have always been a passion of mine, from writing plays to creating dance routines from young. During my A Levels, I performed in the Noel Coward Theatre alongside stars such as Christopher Eccleston (the 9th Doctor Who). I honestly adore being an entertainer. I’ve taught diddi dance for 7 years and now have my own franchise for the Lewisham borough. Alongside this I also work on TikTok with over half a million followers. Teaching the arts is something I’ve always wanted to do and diddi dance allows me to encourage the children in the right direction to have confidence and set them up for later life.”
Booking is now open for Carey’s classes which start next week, so do get in touch if you’d like your little one to join. You can visit her page for all the latest information.
We wish Carey the very best with her launch and beyond!
