Anthony Bazin, aka Tango Anton,
is a French-born dance instructor
of Argentine Tango, Ballroom, Latin
American and Rock’n’roll dances.

Anthony’s passion for dancing started at
the age of eight when he followed his
mother to join his first Rock’n’Roll class.
Ever since, the dance floor has been his
second home. From his first lessons
with Pierre and Anne-Laure Fontanel,
he went on to learn Hip-hop, Disco, Cha
Cha Cha, Salsa and Argentine Tango.

Having originally studied Fashion and
Textiles at university back in France,
Anthony moved to Desborough to work
for the local lingerie factory five years
ago. When a work colleague sent him an
email regarding dance classes at MaSh
Dancing School in Kettering, Anthony
went along for the Rock’n’roll, a dance
in which he was well practised by then.

He was introduced to Marye Simmons,
who after five minutes with Anthony,
was knocked off her feet and became
his dance teacher and mentor. Under
Marye’s wings, Anthony completed his
Ballroom and Latin American NATD
qualifications in 2015 and is set to
obtain the Argentine Tango equivalent
this coming February. Thanks to MaSh
Dance School, Anthony has also had
the chance to help local charities such
as Lakelands Hospice in Corby or
Cransley Hospice in Kettering.

Other major dance influences in Anthony’s
life are Argentine Tango Master Mario de
Camillis and NATD Member Elaine Potter,
and he regularly attends workshops with both.
Dance also introduced Anthony to the love of
his life, Sniedze Riekstina, whom he met when
she attended one of his classes. The couple
married last August in Sniedze’s home country,
Latvia, and are now partners both on and off
the dance floor as Sniedze assists Anthony in
most of his classes.

The only rule in Anthony’s classes is to enjoy
dancing and have fun. Nothing is wrong, just
different. The entertainment factor is key;
when your basics are in place, hard work and
perseverance will take you to the next level.
