Diddlyi

Today is a big one for Diddlyi.  3 years ago we started a journey that would see over a million people come to the Diddlyi websites to connect and share your love of Irish dancing, music and culture. When we started we had no idea how alive Diddlyi would become.  And this is all down to the wonderful people (you!) that make up this fantastic and enthusiastic community. 

So for our 3rd birthday we want to say THANK YOU!

Today is also a great opportunity to let you all in on what is coming next for Diddlyi and our social network, magazine and exciting new project, Diddlyi Learn.

Diddlyi Social Network

Nearly 3,300 members have now shared 19,520 photos and 1,838 videos.  Thousands more visitors who have not yet signed up are coming every day too. 

This year we will have loads of new competitions, polls and fun newsletters.

A new members leaderboard will show and reward the most active people on Diddlyi.com.

We will be featuring dancers and musicians like you in our Diddlyi Spotlights.

You will soon be able to log in with your Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Diddlyi Magazine

The magazine has become a popular place for anyone who wants to read and see the latest in Irish dancing, music and culture.  We will be featuring plenty more fun stuff in the coming year from your favourite writers.

We will also be publishing more from Diddlyi TV, featuring interviews with stars, teachers and interesting people from around the world.

Diddlyi Learn

Diddlyi Learn is a brand new service that will help you improve your Irish dancing online (and music soon too!).  Featuring an innovative video library (with slow motion, different angles), an easy to use website and a helpful team of mentors, Diddlyi Learn is the support you need to become a better Irish dancer in your own time.

Main features:

Dance - learn new and traditional soft and hard shoe Irish dances for beginner, beginner +, intermediate and advanced dancers.

Train - explore the technique and exercise library to condition yourself to be a better dancer.

Mentors - our team of highly qualified mentors will help you understand the lessons and training and be there to support you when you need them.

We will soon be launching a trial period for the first users. Check out Learn.Diddlyi.com for more.

 

We hope you find all this as exciting as we do.  We always love to hear feedback so please feel free to contact us at any time here.

All the best,

The Diddlyi Team
