It’s #place2be Children’s Mental Health Week 5-11 February 2024.
Children’s Mental Health Week was launched in 2015 and each year, hundreds of schools, children, parents and carers take part. Its now in its 10th year and the theme is ‘My Voice Matters’.
At diddi dance we understand the benefit of movement to music, and how learning to express yourself at a young age has a huge positive impact on children’s mental health 
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!
