The nominees for the prestigious What's On 4 Me 2011 Awards have just been announced - and Hannah Leigh Fisher amongst them!

The What's On 4 Award programmes are now in their fifth year and celebrate the best activities from throughout the UK - both for kids and adults - as nominated and voted for by the UK public.

Zumba Fitness with Hannah Leigh Fisher from Kirk Sandall Doncaster is a nominee in the Most Outstanding Activity Instructor category which means they have received at least 3 nominations and will now go through to the national voting stage!

This year, the awards cover 6 categories from Best Activity Provider to Best Volunteering Group or Individual. Hundreds of nominations have been received so this nomination is a great achievement.

In November 2010 I moved to Doncaster to continue my passion for Dance and Fitness. After completing a dance degree in July 2009 at York St John University. I have been on the dance scene for many years now from performances with local schools to teaching in the community.
I have been concentrating on my new love ZUMBA!!! Its a fantastic way of getting fit, having fun and feeling good about yourself. I get an amazing buzz off each of my classes as the women that take part are just so supportive and have great energy.
Since moving to Doncaster I have successfully raised over £1500 for Behcets Syndrome Society through Charity Zumba Marathons (Zumbathon) and Glow in the Dark sessions. I have another Halloween Glow in the Dark Special coming up on Friday 28th October.
As well as community classes I work with Primary Schools throughout Doncaster working with after school dance clubs. I am currently working with Long Toft Primary for their performance in the Ash Hill Academy Dance Festival around Easter time.
Every school holiday on a Tuesday morning I hold ZumbAtomic sessions (Zumba for children) followed by a street and break dance workshop! The session last 3 hours and they receive a healthy light lunch at the end of the session. So far they have been a great turn out and I hope they continue as I love seeing them excited about coming to see me and take part in the classes plus its a great treat and morning out throughout the holidays.
I am running 9 sessions of Zumba a week throughout Doncaster that are open classes for anyone to turn up and give it a go!

Debbie from Kirk Sandall Class, said: ‘Best fun excercise i've had in years! I love it’
Danielle from Woodlands Class, said: ‘’Not only is it exercise, its fun because you are dancing which is always fun and socialising at the same time’’
