More about our stars

Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt (Miami)
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.
Ney and Jennifer have recently taught and performed in Italy, Poland, Singapore, Malaysia, Romania and Australia, as well as extensively all over North America.

Jake Spatz (Washington, DC)

He has brought his enthusiasm for the dance, music, and culture of the tango to cities up and down the East Coast, including most recently he played to great acclaim at Tango de los Muertos. In his hometown Washington, DC, Jake hosts Milonga Local, and DJs every 2nd Saturday at Milonga PorteƱa at Chevy Chase Ballroom.
