Anik\u00f3 said: \u201cI have been at the Prince Of Wales Hotel for the past two years and have helped to organise the Strictly event. Last year was my first, this year will be the second.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful event with a superb atmosphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love dancing so I was really pleased to be invited to take part this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a team, several of us at the Prince Of Wales have completed various fundraising events to support Queenscourt Hospice.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is such an important local charity which does so much to support families at a time when they really need their help and care.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy colleagues and I have done fundraising abseils, skydives, London Marathon and other events to try and raise money for Queenscourt.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really enjoy dancing. I have had a great time training with Kaz Leach at Marshside School of Dance.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter, Rebecca, who is eight years old, dances at Marshside School of Dance too and she really enjoys it. Our love of dancing runs in the family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking to dance a samba at Strictly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is not my main ambition though \u2013 my main aim is to try and raise as much money and as much awareness as I can for Queenscourt Hospice, and will be very grateful for any who can support me via my JustGiving page: Aniko Agocs is fundraising for Queenscourt Hospice<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI think Queenscourt Strictly is an absolutely fantastic event.<\/p>\n \u201cLast year I was helping to organise it and was spending a lot of the time in the kitchen. There was a lot of work involved!<\/p>\n \u201cIt was such a brilliant event with an amazing atmosphere and we were honoured to be able to host it at the Prince Of Wales Hotel.<\/p>\n \u201cThis ballroom and this dance floor is so historic, it\u2019s the perfect setting for an event like this.<\/p>\n \u201cMy colleagues have been so supportive and so have my family. They are so excited and are right behind me. I can\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n Strictly Queenscourt<\/a> returns for its third dazzling year on Saturday 15th November 2025.<\/p>\n After two unforgettable sell-out events, the event is back with even more sparkle, sequins, and show-stopping moves!<\/p>\n This year\u2019s glittering line-up features 12 courageous contestants, each paired with a professional dancer, a panel of fabulous judges, two sensational hosts, and a night full of entertainment \u2013 all in support of Queenscourt Hospice.<\/p>\n Queenscourt Hospice is delighted to return to the stunning Prince of Wales Hotel for what promises to be another spectacular evening of fundraising and fun.<\/p>\n Each contestant is aiming to raise a minimum of \u00a31,500 in sponsorship, so please dig deep and support their incredible efforts.<\/p>\n Do you have a story for Stand Up For Southport?
