Ney Melo & Jennifer Bratt, Owners and Tango Teachers
World-renowned tango dancers and teachers, Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt 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, and they place equal emphasis on the lady's role as the man's. Technique and the essence of tango, both fundamental to dancing well, are stressed in whatever step is being shown. Their instruction is highly respected and sought out by beginning and advanced dancers, as well as other teachers and choreographers.

In addition to running TangoVida, Ney and Jennifer are currently touring the world. They are the invited maestros at the upcoming 2009 Capri Tango Festival in Capri, Italy. They also regularly teach and perform in Poland, Singapore, Malaysia, Romania, Slovenia, Australia, and New Zealand as well as extensively all over North America.
