Teaching Assistant
Richard has a real talent for working with beginners, adapting his approach to suit each
dancer’s needs and confidence level. He’s known for his friendly nature, endless patience,
and ability to make even the most nervous beginners feel at ease. He loves the moment
when dancers master a new step and light up with joy on the dance floor.
Richard’s connection to Nick’s Dance School runs deep. He first joined back in 2012 with his
original partner, Laura. When Laura’s work took her away, Richard kept dancing with Terri
before encouraging his partner, Kevin, to give it a try — and now the two of them are
dancing together and absolutely loving it!
His favourite dances are the Waltz and Rumba, and his inspiration comes from Strictly Come
Dancing’s Karen Hardy. One of his standout memories was watching Terri sparkle on the
floor at the 2025 Strictly Air Ambulance fundraising event for EHAAT — an unforgettable
night!
When he’s not dancing, Richard never misses a monthly catch-up with his old school friends.
Friendly, reliable, and always ready with a laugh, he’s a huge hit with our beginners — and if
you’re new to dancing, you couldn’t be in safer (or friendlier) hands.
