All the very best to Dan and Dianna tomorrow as they hit the D-floor for Strictly Sumner. Dan has done so much for our club over many years, and despite already having an impressive twirl in his repertoire, he is now stepping well outside of his comfort zone all for the great cause of our pavilion rebuild.

So proud and thankful to have this legend representing our club.

✨ MEET OUR NEXT STRICTLY SUMNER COUPLE... 🕺💃 ✨

🕺 DAN VANN
A familiar face around the Sumner community, Dan Vann has dedicated decades to local sport as a player, coach and mentor. A true Sumner Cricket Club stalwart, he recently celebrated an incredible milestone of 500 First XI wickets and has played more than 400 Senior A games for the club, making him one of the club's all-time greats. Beyond cricket, Dan also spent several seasons playing rugby for the Sumner Sharks and later served as the Division One Mental Skills Coach, further strengthening his connection to the Sumner sporting community.

With more than 20 years' coaching experience across cricket, rugby, performance and mindset, Dan has worked with athletes locally and around the world, helping people achieve their goals both on and off the field. Whether coaching in Christchurch or overseas, his philosophy has always been simple — work hard, enjoy the journey and bring out the best in others.

With such a long history at both Sumner Cricket and the Sumner Sharks, Dan is swapping the cricket whites for dancing shoes to help raise funds for a facility that has played such an important role in the local sporting community.

💃 DIANNA HANNE
Dianna has been dancing since she was six years old and has dedicated a lifetime to the sport she loves. A New Zealand Masters Dance Champion, she combines years of competitive experience with a passion for helping others discover the joy of dance.

Whether she's teaching social dancers, preparing couples for their wedding day or stepping onto the competition floor herself, Dianna's enthusiasm and love of dancing shine through. Now she's bringing that experience to the Strictly Sumner dance floor as she helps guide her celebrity partner on their dancing journey.

🏏💃🏆 He's taken wickets across the world. She's won dance titles around New Zealand. Together, can Dan and Dianna take home the Mirror Ball? 🪩✨
