Ney Melo & Jennifer Bratt
Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt dance an elegant style of social salon tango. Their dance is defined by a smooth and graceful walk, a powerful sense of musicality, classic steps entwined with intricate embellishments, and an intimate embrace. Their passion and respect for tango, its culture, and its music is clearly evidenced in their dance, as well as in their teaching. In their classes together, Ney and Jennifer are dedicated to inspiring students to dance tango with feeling, musicality, cadencia, and connection - the way it is danced in Buenos Aires. The atmosphere in their classes is relaxed, personable and lively. They employ vivid images to illustrate technique and the essence of tango (both fundamental to dancing well) in whatever step is being shown.
