Fitness Presenter/Choreographer

"He is one of those rare people who seems to make everything seem so effortless even though behind that cheeky smile, that twinkle in his eye and calm exterior there's a relentless machine driving him forward"

Richard came into dance almost by accident when he was spotted dancing in a nightclub with friends when he was 18 and was thrown into the limelight by successfully auditioning with the current World Freestyle Champion, Mark Thompson's' dance group.

After a few years of touring the UK whilst studying Richard moved away from the dance field and into fitness where he found his vocation and quickly made a name for himself with dynamic presentations in the studio teaching aerobics and other group fitness classes. Old habits die hard and it was only a matter of time before he decided to bring dance into his already packed portfolio of classes and when he started introducing hip-hop classes the rest was history. Quickly establishing his own unique style of dance and choreography Richard began receiving requests for master classes from further afield and soon began teaching throughout the UK for dance schools, health clubs and fitness event companies - FitCamp, International Fitness Showcase, Mbrace, Urban Underground and many others.

Not content with just teaching classes Richard is also part of the Senior Crew for Urban Funk (www.urban-funk.com), a national trainer for Boxercise and a consultant for various fitness companies within the UK. His exploits on stage and in classes have not gone unnoticed and after being given the opportunity to personally train Jordan and develop their fitness DVD you will probably be seeing a bit more of Richard in the future…watch this space.
