Dear Tango Friend,
Marsha and I are very excited to have Ney Melo and Jennifer Bratt from New
York City and Buenos Aires come to Northern Florida to teach close embrace
tango. 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.
Ney and Jennifer have studied together with such maestros as Javier
Rodriguez, Jorge Dispari y Maria del Carmen, Geraldine Rojas, and Julio
Balmaceda y Corina de la Rosa. Together Jennifer and Ney teach 4 weekly
group classes in NYC, travel almost every weekend to teach workshops and at
festivals, and run 3 annual tours to Buenos Aires for dancers (where they
live for 5 months of the year).
Their of school of Tango Argentino, EL ABRAZO (which means The Embrace), is
based in New York City at Empire Dance Studio and in their classes together
they 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 men's.
Technique and the essence of tango, both fundamental to dancing well, are
stressed in whatever step is being shown. Ney and Jennifer have recently
taught and performed in Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia, as well as
extensively all over North America.
We welcome tango dancers from Gainesville and all around the area: Tampa,
Orlando, Melbourne, Sarasota, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine,
Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm, as well as Louisiana, Georgia, South
Carolina, and North Carolina. (Testimonials from Past Participants)
Classes Friday, October 27:, Saturday, October 28 and Milongas Friday and
Saturday Nights, with a Live Tango Music Concert on Saturday Night
Please make your calendars for this exciting event. We will be sending more
details in the coming weeks.

Dancing is not getting up any time like a speck of dust blown around by the
wind. Dancing is when you rise above both worlds, tearing your heart to
pieces and giving up your soul.
Mevlana Jalal al-din Rumi Persian Poet
"A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose
both and deserve neither."
