**GUILLAUME RICHARD from FranceGUILLAUME RICHARD

Guillaume is currently riding high with the number one dance on the Linedancer charts ‘The Queen’ and the widely popular ‘Just Dance Dance Dance’ written with Jose Miguel Belloque Vane.  Guillaume started dancing 13 years ago; within a year he was teaching his own class which he taught for six years.  He choreographed his first dance in 2005 and then started teaching at Workshops in France.   He decided to try his hand at competing and won Megastar WCDF, Superstart UCWDC, and Gold Medal WCLDSF.  This is one talented young man and we are thrilled that he will be joining us at ‘The Spring Workshop’ in 2017.  This will be his first visit to Canada so let’s give him a hearty welcome!
