News...
The issue of childhood obesity never seems to be out of the headlines. Jamie Oliver and Steven Gerrard recently added their support to the latest major campaign which stated in a letter to David Cameron that the "pride" of hosting the Olympic Games has been "tainted by the shameful fact that Britain is the fattest nation in Europe"*.
1 in 3 UK children are now obese or over-weight by the  age of 9 - with this figure set to double in the next 20 years if no action is taken - it's not all about physical well-being either - research also suggests that just 15 minutes of daily exercise can have a marked impact on academic performance ** And what turns girls off sport? Official figures show that just 12% of 14 year old girls are reaching the recommended levels of physical activity - half the number of boys at the same age. ***
Campaigners say the Olympic Games could provide a  great opportunity to change things for the better.....but how? WE NEED YOUR HELP - Please just take a few minutes to complete our survey on school-age children's lifestyle and health and the changes YOU would like to see happen.

FREE Dance Trial.....
At diddi dance we realise and encourage endless enthusiasm and energy in an action packed, full of fun 45-minute dance class!
Dancing for pre-schoolers is a great way of keeping fit  and active, and it's also great fun! Dance isn't just for girls! Boys want to jump around to their favourite music just as much as their female friends. He may not want to be a ballerina or fairy but give him a toy guitar and he's a rock and roll star! Plus boys need tiring out just as much, if not more than girls and what better way to do this than 45 minutes of jumping, turning, galloping, moving and shaking?
Diddi dance uses various dancing games and exercises, bells, hoops and dance ribbons to our own funky pop songs! Your little one not only improves their rhythm and co-ordination but also social and gross motor skills. We also look at different dance styles every half term from salsa and hip hop to country and disco. Parents and carers are encouraged to join in and share the enjoyment with their diddi dancer. However, week after week as you see their confidence blossom you will find yourself able to take a well earned rest and watch with pride their funky moves and smiles.
Book your FREE diddi dance trial today, visit our website www.diddidance.com
