[Tango-A] NA-W: LOS ANGELES: NEY MELO & JENNIFER BRATT AUGUST 15-17

[Lynn]

Ney and Jennifer will be in the Los Angeles area this coming weekend -  
August 15-17

Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt dance an elegant style of social tango,  
rooted in the traditions of the Villa Urquiza area of  Buenos Aires.  
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 music is clearly evidenced in their dance, as  
well as their teaching.
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, placing equal emphasis on the lady's as well as  
the man's role.  Technique and the essence of tango, both fundamental  
to dancing well, are stressed in whatever step is being shown.
