“I found out about diddi dance when my son, who is now at school, did sessions with another franchisee Emma at his nursery and I loved the idea of running my own business and having a more flexible and enjoyable career whilst still using my dance skills and passion for movement. Dancing, being silly and making children happy everyday is the best job I could think of doing.”Svenja Jinman - Wolverhampton, Stafford, North Telford & Market Drayton
