Come along to Wiggle & Wonder at Poplar Union — a joyful, high-energy session designed especially for children with SEND and their families!

Led by the fantastic Diddi Dance team, this session uses music, rhythm, and movement to help little ones explore, express, and enjoy their bodies in a safe, supportive environment.

Expect dancing, props, sensory fun and plenty of giggles — all adapted to be fully inclusive and welcoming for children of all abilities.

Designed for children with SEND (ages 0-5 years old). Parents and carers join in the fun. Sensory-friendly, low-pressure, joyful atmosphere.

Let’s move, wiggle, and wonder — together!

About diddi dance

diddi dance has been nurturing children’s natural love of movement to music for over 20 years with classes following a structured plan in a relaxed environment so children can learn and join in at their own pace.  In each half-term block of classes we explore a different dance style from around the world including Hula, Bollywood, Country, Salsa, Ballroom, Disco, Hip hop and many more… plus some seasonal dancing like Bunny hopping at Easter, Slay riding at Christmas, Monster mash at Halloween and more.

Informed by and developed together with child play and movement experts, diddi dance ensures that each, fun-filled element of our class is supporting an essential developmental skill, including (but not exclusively) turn taking, decision making and independence, colour and shape recognition, balance and coordination, following simple instructions, proprioception and vestibular development, rhythm and creativity.

Inclusive dance session designed especially for families with children aged 0–5 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

The ticket for a cup admits one adult.  Kids admitted free with an adult with a ticket.  Experience our small family farm where we grow a wide variety of flowers.

Jazzin’ in the Junction is Friday, August 29 – 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the Tallgrass Theatre, 2019 Grand Avenue, West Des Moines Iowa 50265

Join us at Jazzin’ in the Junction to experience the Spoken Word and live Jazz. The Spoken Word has become a special part of our celebrations and community building. By definition, Spoken Word is an oral poetic performance art based mainly on the poem and the performer’s aesthetic qualities. It is a 21st-century continuation of an ancient oral artistic tradition. Please join us to experience the rich history and experiences told by talented storytellers.
