Diversity

[Mythoughts]

why is Starr not in it? Is she running classes?

She seems to be taking part in classes and her deals seem to have stepped up a bit recently.

The only new face I’ve seen is the teen with floppy hair. The rest have all been in diversity years and years. Geo is running the Birmingham studio by the looks of it on social media. Then Nathan, Sam and Warren the southend one.
It’ll be interesting to see how it works with the new tour and managing the studios, surely all the known faces are who people have paid to see.

Oh I thought Geo was still in Southend because she is recording all her vlogs in the flat and in the surrounding area. Plus her and Nathan were running xmas classes together. I get why sam isn't in panto having a new baby.
But I would have thought people would also pay to see known faces in panto too.

Agreed, faces are on the posters who aren’t even there, happened with the last tour they did too. I noticed the flyer for panto next year only has Ashley, Perri and Jordan on it. Wonder if it’s because they are not planning on having the rest of the group with them. Or going to take students to cut costs.

So Jordan, Starr, and Geo aren’t apart of this tour? Jordan seems to be training for a match but I doubt he’ll be back in it.

I don't think Nathan is either!

 

[avb00]

Starr seems to have grown quite substantially as an influencer and travelling to various events so I imagine what she earns there is way better than the tour. Geo wasn’t part of the last one either so imagine between the studio and that she she decided not too again.

Yeah, I was quite surprise by the amount who are not in it - Starr, Geo, Jordan, Nathan, Jess. Despite being on the promotional covers. It’s hardly worth seeing. If Perri doesn’t take part in the next tour, they’ll be in trouble.

Definitely seems Starr and Jordan are pulling away from DV entirely. Quite a few people in the comments are asking where is Jordan and Starr so there are people who were disappointed and not only there for Perri and Ash.

 

[Mythoughts]

Kelvin isn't in it either this year i dont think, but his mate Karem is.
I'm surprised jess hasn't got a part in it like she did last time.

So there's no girls on the tour as Shante also doesn't appear to be there?!

 

[Mythoughts]

I think shante and najah are in it

 

[avb00]

You’d think Starr would be mad to be in it if Najah is there since she’d get to spend time with her. But yeah she seems to be working with pretty big brands.

I think it’s good she and Perri have some time apart. I can’t imagine she’d really want to be in it if Starr isn’t there and she doesn’t have any contact/interactionwith Shante.

They were spending all the time together during the last tour but again they were only in the first year of their relationship.

I imagine it’s a very different tour experience for Perri without Jordan, Starr, or Jess.

Naomi has confirmed Jordan isn't on tour as he has a few commitments that would take him away for 3-4 weeks at a time. He is happy to have built a career around the Banjo and Diversity name but now bails out when it doesn't suit him. I really can't imagine it brings a huge amount of money to the dancers.

I think we all called this last year that he was going to pull away from Diversity and the tour. He needs to be with the kids and he’s absolutely shattered the past 5 years with the radio early mornings. I think the boxing is much better for him and suits him. He’s much better at it (at a casual level) and enjoys it.

I know he said on his story he’s still part of the group when he went to see them, but if he’s not on tour or doing teaching he’s really not a primary member.

I think they shouldn’t be on the promotions cover though for the tour. But imagine it was created ages ago before he knew about his fight or PR commitments.

Since the radio is gone, it makes sense he’s had to take up other commitments to get money in.

Same with Starr, she was always doing PR but it’s only really taken off at global level this past year. She’s working with top brands and flying to the states and all. I’d say she’s on very good money if the estimates for PR adverts is to be believed. If she was on tour she’d earn much less and wouldn’t be able to commit to influencing.

For Jess, she’s also gotten into the influencing (no surprise here) so she’ll have a steady income from that and the dance she does. With Starr not there, I imagine she wasn’t really keen on being on tour either.

I feel they’re all branching off in different directions which is totally normal and I admit very late given they’re together so many years. But they formed the group when they were all teenagers.

Instead of calling it a day with Diversity, they’ll just max the use of the remaining members and get a few extras in that nobody really knows. It’s easy to find dancers, and as long as Perri and Ash are there, the show will go on. But it’s nice to see people are missing Jordan as well and he’s not forgotten about.

I agree but the loss of the radio (which according to here paid £10,000 per month) is a massive loss of earnings so if he has to get money from other work it’s what needs to he done. Princess Nay contributes nothing. Maybe he’s found the balls to say he doesn’t care about the dancing and wants to pursue boxing. I imagine a lot of family pressure to stay in Diversity and dance.

The same with Starr. I know she was dancing for years before DV but she was a nobody until she joined Diversity during the pandemic. Now she’s gone into influencing and modelling and her own dance workshops, she’s also jumped ship.

Has she quit DV altogether?

Starr was in it because Perri is her brother and their mum was one of the chaperones on tour ( mum was also in wardrobe with the other mums - had to earn their keep! ) so it figured she would get into the group. I’ve toured a few times with the group

Thats true. Their younger sister never took part in Diversity and seems to be out of the public eye.

Oh of course, she’s a great dancer and I think the family are talented. I just think like Jordan, having the surname (Kiely) worked to her advantage and she’s jumped ship like him.

I think if they were still doing the radio show, Jordan would still be taking part in tour as he’d be on the road with them.

But yes unless there’s something in the small print or booklet saying who is part of the tour, it’s misleading in terms of the promotional campaign to feature the two of them on the cover.

I’m cracking up at how badly they placed my hometown (Dublin) on the map in their latest video .

Strange after 5 years separated. But she probably just loves the look of having the ring on her finger.

Fran is proof that a man isn’t needed for happiness or for kids. She has been glowing ever since they split and she’s a credit to her kids. She keeps things private.
