Diddi Dance
Dynamic Dance Sessions!
Diddi Dance partner with Grace’s Day Nursery Ruxley, where their dynamic dance sessions ignite the imaginations of pre-school children. The classes are designed to enhance coordination, rhythm, and confidence in a fun-filled environment.
Each session introduces children to various dance styles from around the world, including salsa, hula, jive, and disco. They incorporate action songs, dancing games, and the use of props like hoops and ribbons, all set to their original, funky music. This diverse approach not only keeps the classes exciting but also broadens the children’s musical and cultural horizons.
Their programme aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring that while children are having fun, they are also developing essential skills. Activities are structured yet relaxed, allowing each child to progress at their own pace.
Diddi Dance are proud to offer inclusive classes that welcome children of all abilities. Their trained instructors are committed to creating a supportive environment where every child can thrive. The positive feedback from parents highlights the impact of their sessions on children’s social skills, listening abilities, and overall enthusiasm for dance.
