I'M A FINALIST! 🥰🤩 I am so incredibly honoured to be a finalist in the 2026 in these 2 categories! 🤯
For the last 13 years I have worked so hard to build my Zumba community & it has changed my life in a way I could never have imagined. ✨️
Adding over the last 2 years was a scary leap of faith but I couldn't be prouder of myself, and my mind is continously blown away by the support of my students, my teachers and the opportunities I am given.🙏
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for trusting in me, supporting me & giving me a reason to keep pushing and growing. I may come across as super confident and extrovert, but the reality is that I am the queen of self doubt, imposter syndrome and never feeling good enough.
I may not win and that is completely ok, because the people I have discovered along the way, the incredible testimonials, and the joy I see in my students faces is prize enough. How lucky I am to be able to do what I love everyday and how special to have been recognised. 💕
The final will take place on 4th July in Aberdeen & if you'd like to come along with me for an epic day of fitness and celebrating, send me a DM! Ticket sales close on 31st May!!
Whatever happens, thank YOU, truly. ❤️

✨️MELISSA MANLEY the woman you are✨️ 💕 The day FINALLY came where I got to not only take your class, but to dance along side you (to a samba no less! That's me in the pink skirt! 😱)
PURO ALEGRIA, PURO REGGAETON, PURO ENERGIA, PURO BORICUA, PURO PERREO, PURO MELISSA.❤️
You are a blessing to the community, truly. I have for so long admired your realness, fire & spirit. You are so proudly yourself with no fear of what others have to say, and in that you make me (& so many others) feel seen & safe... to have no fear because you can never please everyone & to be our true selves always! 💪🏼 & DAMN THIS GIRL CAN DANCE💥🥵
True authenticity can be hard to come by, but it genuinely felt like meeting an old friend y te amo Reina! 👑 Hasta la proxima que ya no puedo esperar! ❤️
Congratulations for pulling off such a brilliant event! You did amazing & I'm grateful for your hardwork in getting Melissa here! 💕
& to my lovely and - thank you for looking after me, for dancing with me & being an all round vibe.💯 Sometimes the best friendships smack you in the face when you're least expecting it ... & I'm forever grateful for that and you!! 🔥
