Music created exclusively for DDMIX

The aim of DDMIX is to get people moving without being intimidated by the word ‘dance’ or the technicality of the steps, but instead to give a full body workout that is such fun that you don’t even notice that you are exercising. With the vast number of dance styles around the world to choose from, no one will ever get bored!

We have a passion for dance-based fitness and believe the best way of getting fit is by doing something you enjoy. By participating in dance, you can achieve your goals by not looking upon exercise as a chore. We love group exercise classes with non-correctional instruction, that are fun and all inclusive.

Darcey wanted to create a program using segments of dance from around the world, providing great variety with a western touch. Given her deep interest in all forms of dance and having danced nearly all genres from her classical ballet base, the DDMIX adventure began. She contacted her good friend and talented choreographer and dancer Nathan Clarke, with whom she has worked on Viva La Diva, Darcey Dances Hollywood and the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. On hearing her idea Nathan agreed to join Darcey and they started working on the choreography for the first DDMIX.

“When I finished my career, I needed something to fill that space physically and mentally. I wanted to keep moving so I went out there and I joined Zumba classes, contemporary, lyrical jazz and tap classes. I tried everything! After my career I knew that I wanted to exercise without taking it too seriously. I wanted to have fun with movement. The idea of DDMIX came about as I wanted to enjoy many flavours of dance styles and wanted to experience them all at the same time. I thought, ‘why can’t you put this all into one program?’. Something that gives you a flavour and a taste of every genre of dance by just touching on them, not perfecting them, but just having fun and being entertained. It was about creating choreography and music that was authentic to the style but having a funky popular element to it.”
