About Richard
I offer a private dance space! Weddings: I’ve spent 5 years specializing in first dances, working with 80+ couples a year to craft something that feels personal and looks great on the floor. Wedding couples are my specialty—and my favorite. Whatever your timeline, song, or goal, I’ll give you an unforgettable experience and the tools to keep dancing together for life. Social Dancing: I've worked at a number of Bay Area studios in the past that were focused on Partner Dance experiences. I will help you navigate dance social events, finding a partner, etc.

Social Dance Work Flow: Very focused on the flow and the partnering. I want the dancing to serve your goals. I understand that for most, the goal is to have fun, be musical, and comfortable dancing in a variety of social settings. I want to give you the tools to be excited to go out there and dance.
Wedding Work Flow: On the first lesson we start with basics tailored to your song, connect them to its mood and energy, then layer in solid partnering skills. My goal by the end of the first lesson is to have the leader comfortable with leading their partner through the basic steps. The next lessons will focus on creating a plan/choreography for the couple. A "entrance" making a meaningful impact at the beginning of your dance. A "middle section" that is your basic moves and making use of moments in the music create some kind of highlight. Finally a "grand finish"—a dip, lift, or a signature pose that fits you.
My Teaching Style/Philosophy/Goal:
1. Style is hands-on, with precise instruction and clear feedback.
2. Philosophy is simple: "is this cool?" and "is this useful?" I won’t teach generic steps that don’t serve your goals.
3. Goal: Chemistry and togetherness are top priorities. Whether we build full choreography or keep it loose/improvised, my aim is that you dance as yourselves—with confidence. Who I work with: I work with absolute beginners and dancers of all levels. I will assess your level on the lesson and work with you on a dance that is at your level or just above. I want you to surpass your own expectations for yourself. I love to work with everyone no matter your genders or orientations. I am a cis-gendered AMAB and I curate a space inclusive to folx of all walks of life.
Additional help I provide:
- I can provide music editing so your song is the perfect length for a small charge of $55
- Choosing your Song: If you're stuck between choices I can rate/compare your song(s) based on their danceability and wow factor. I can describe to you the style of movement and the atmosphere it will create.
- At the end of your lesson I can film practice videos for you to take home with you to reference. My dancing skillset: I'm skilled as a ballroom and Latin dancer. Besides wedding dancing, I teach Waltz, Quicksteps, Foxtrot, Tango, Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive, Salsa, Swing and more.

Richard is the rare teacher who can boost your confidence and technique at the same time. I came to them unsure of myself; now I’m dancing salsa and enjoying the process. Lessons are relaxed but focused, the goals are clear, and I always walk out feeling better than when I walked in. If you’re even a little curious about dancing but intimidated to start, book a lesson with Richard. You’ll be glad you did.
I’ve been taking dance classes from Richard for years now—starting with private rumba lessons to rebuild my confidence, and now casual salsa lessons for fun. He’s one of the most patient and thoughtful teachers I’ve met, meeting you exactly where you are, whether you’re a complete beginner or experienced.
Richard brings such great energy to every session that even if it’s a late-night lesson after a long workday, you’ll walk out in a better mood. He also sets clear, achievable goals that gently push you out of your comfort zone so you can genuinely grow.
If you’re looking for a supportive, non-intimidating space to develop your dancing skills, I couldn’t recommend him more!View more recommendations
