Richard established a dance school in 1992 based in Watford. We teach mainly couples dances including, Argentine Tango, Bachata, Cha cha cha, Merengue, Forro, Salsa Cubana, RocknRoll and a variety of Ballroom dances. I work with Jane Solomon of Tangolicious at workshops. I am sorry i didn't get the chance to say goodbye in person i had a really stressful week and a lot was going on so i couldn't go to salsa.
Thank you for the amazing salsa lessons and also for the fun we always had on your lessons. I wish you all the best and i hope to dance on your lessons again really soon. Richard recently ran a couple of taster sessions at our hospitals which were extremely well received. He made the lessons fun, people thoroughly enjoyed themselves, whether they'd previously danced or not, and there was a definite sense of achievement by the end of each session.

If you want to study dance, is important to spend some time finding the correct dance class. Choose a dance style. The type of music that you listen to will often be relevant in your selection, but so will your ability to move. Maybe you should to learn about various styles of dance so you can select what style of lessons to try.

I wasn't always a dancer although as a child of about 9 years old, I used to go with some West Indian neighbours to a rehearsal rooms and dance to all sorts of music mainly ska, blue beat, soca. As a teenager, I ventured into Burtons in Harrow for some ballroom dance lessons with my mate Nick Maley.
