Anton du BekeLead Professional and Judge on Strictly Come Dancing

Anton Du Beke is a celebrated ballroom and Latin dancer who transformed from a teenage amateur into one of Britain’s most recognised television personalities. After trading boxing and football for the dance floor at the age of 14, he established a formidable professional partnership with Erin Boag in 1997. The duo achieved significant competitive success, including multiple wins at the New Zealand Championships and becoming British National Finalists between 2002 and 2004. Known as a stalwart of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing, Anton is one of only two professionals to feature in every series since its 2004 inception, eventually transitioning from the dance floor to the judging panel. His versatility extends beyond the ballroom as a regular presence on British television, with appearances on Countdown, Steph’s Packed Lunch, and a role as presenter of the BBC game show Hole in the Wall. He is also a successful recording artist, reaching number 21 on the UK Albums Chart with his 2017 debut album, From the Top. Away from the cameras, he has authored a series of dance-themed novels and non-fiction titles, cementing his status as a multi-talented entertainer. As a keynote speaker and host, he is highly sought after for his professional expertise, infectious warmth, and engaging delivery that resonates with diverse corporate and public audiences.
