Bratt & Ney Melo -Profile
Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt dance an elegant style of social tango which is rooted in the traditions of the neighborhood of Villa Urquiza in Buenos Aires. Their dance is defined by a smooth and graceful walk, a powerful sense of musicality, subtle 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 emotional dancing, as well as in their teaching. Jennifer Bratt is regarded by many as the best female tango dancer in the US. Her sharp embellishments and articulate feet are often compared to those of the renowned Geraldine Rojas. Jennifer is also the author of the popular ASK MALEVA Tango Advice Column, photographer of Close-Embrace.com, and owner of Maleva Shoes which has been bringing the best hard-to-get Argentine tango shoes to ladies around the world for over 3 years. Click here for Jennifer's website: www.close-embrace.com Ney Melo has studied tango with masters of the Villa Urquiza and nuevo styles of tango; Jorge Dispari y La Turca, Chicho Frumboli , and Julio Balmaceda & Corina de La Rosa, and Javier Rodriguez. He teaches a very popular Argentine tango course at NYU, has performed tango on Broadway's Town Hall Theatre stage, and alongside the "Color Tango" Orchestra from Buenos Aires. Ney and Jennifer have recently taught and performed in Romania, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia as well as extensively all over North America. Together they organize 2 annual tours to Buenos Aires for dancers (where they live for 4 months of the year). info@neymelo.com New York City Buenos Aires |
