Toby Balsley started tango at Ultimate Tango with Hernan Brizuela and Anita Flejter. Before embarking in Tango, he had been a hobby dancer for many years including Latin, ballroom, country 2-step and West Cost Swing. He and his wife (also now a tango dancer) have found that the introducing of tango has improved their everyday commutations because at its heart, Tango is about partnership and realtionship.

While a computer and data consultant by day, he has a musical background in singing, choral conducting, music theory and vocal musical composition. He is fascinated by the many layers of music and dance that Argentine tango provides.
