This girl has had a roller coaster of a training journey and is still achieving her dreams! 🎢

Ella first stepped foot in a studio in November 2019, spending March 2020-October 2020 on Zoom, November 2020- July 2021 dancing in boxes - separated from everyone else and only really properly beginning ‘normal’ in studio training in September 2021. 💃🏼

We were then forced (through no fault of our own) to move her dance training to another training establishment - who we will be forever grateful to for accepting her - whilst continuing her training in Musical Theatre, Vocal and Acting at Starlight 💫

This girl has worked so incredibly hard every single day for the past 52 months, it has not been easy, but she has overcome every single challenge she has faced and come out even stronger! 💪🏽

We are SO incredibly proud to announce that Ella has received places at four prestigious stage schools…and has chosen to attend where she will study BA (Hons) Musical Theatre and Dance. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds for her. 📚

Watch out world, this girl’s going to shine✨

Please can I ask everyone to take time to vote for the wonderful Becky Jayne Currey with Diddy Dreams in these awards! Becky taught drama at Starlight for many years before going on to chase her own dreams and I will always be 100% supportive of what she does and the opportunities she provides to little ones and their mummies! There is no more deserving winner than this incredible lady ❤️

🙏 💖LAST PUSH OF VOTES💜 🙏

If you haven’t already voted for Diddy Dreams- I really would appreciate it. We only have six days left!

Over the years, I’ve built Diddy Dreams as a business- but more importantly, I’ve built a community. From nothing. From just an idea I had whilst on maternity with Xander. We started slowly with one class a week at Bounce, then two classes, then three, then we suddenly started growing a wait list, I was looking at getting my own studio to accommodate more classes and then Covid hit. I honestly thought my plans of ever opening my own place were gone. Luckily, things happen for a reason and here we are now, nestled in the beautiful Marsh Mill and three months ago, just two and a half years into opening- we opened our second venue! I’ve said before that there was a time I was walking around Bounce, begging people to come to classes for free. I was lucky if one person came to class. And I don’t ever take for granted where we are now. There’s always a part of me that worries it could all go wrong at any point. I’m so proud of what Diddy Dreams is and what Diddy Dreams means to so many local families. I know it’s a lifeline for so many.

But there is so much more to Diddy’s than that…

There is no big team running Diddy Dreams. It’s literally me and of course, my mum. I don’t have staff to call on if I’m poorly. I don’t have a cleaner- we are the cleaner- and let me tell you, that’s a full time job in itself! I get to work an hour and a half before classes start every morning to steam mop the floors and disinfect everywhere. My mum cleans in between classes. I carpet clean at weekends so it’s dry in time for the week. I don’t have someone to fix things when they’re broken- it’s either me and my mum with our tool kit, or if my husband is here, it’s me asking him to call in and fix something when he has a spare minute (which is never 😅!) I don’t have someone running my social media, doing my PR or spreading the word through advertising- again, that’s a full time job! I don’t have someone replying to messages. No admin staff. I’ve actually had lots of messages from admin people (I’m sure they have an official name 🙈) asking if I want them to take over my admin, messages and socials. As much as I could do with the help- it’s me who you want to message and it’s me who wants to message you back and reassure you if you’re scared to come to classes. Most relationships I build with mummies start at that first message. You don’t want to speak to some office person- as lovely as I’m sure they’d be. We’re not part of a big, successful franchise- I have nobody sending me termly props and lesson plans. I source it all and plan it all myself. I don’t have anyone I can call on for advice. No one who’s walked the walk before me and can tell me what does and doesn’t work. No one to bounce ideas off with. No one to give me feedback. And of course, I don’t have a team of teachers behind me. Every lesson on the timetable is taught and delivered by me. I don’t have weekend staff- if you book a party here, it’s me who’ll meet you there, tidy up after you and be on call if you need anything. I put my heart and soul into this business. It’s my third baby. My pride and joy. And seeing what a community we’ve built, what a safe haven we really are, how we bring joy to so many families, it’s honestly all I could have ever dreamt of.

If you think we deserve recognition for all that we do, please please take two seconds to click the link and vote! I honestly can’t tell you what it would mean to me. Thank you! 💜💜💜💜
