Brooklyn Tango

I highly recommend taking tango lessons from Ney Melo! Over the last 8 years, I’ve taken tango classes in many cities and he’s one of my favorite instructors around.
I highly recommend him especially to beginners who are either new to tango or even to dance. Ney’s teaching style is very inviting and taking classes with him is not intimidating at all.
Most importantly, Ney teaches and dances tango con chispa which makes learning and dancing with him fun and exciting!

Ney Melo’s intense passion for tango as well as every student will transform your tango to unimaginable heights! If new to tango, Ney will open up the world of tango to you… the music, the connectiin, the culture and movement! I have had the pleasure of learning from his genius for many years and know you will be transfixed by Ney’s innovative, high energy, sincerely caring and world class instruction!!!

Brooklyn Tango is a great place to start tangoing. Ney and Jennifer have put down roots in Brooklyn. They have a fun clear teaching style. I recommend them to anyone who is starting or diving deep into tango.

Ney Melo not only is a great teacher, he is a sparkling personality, an amazing dancer and a hell of a fun guy.
My husband and I have been taking classes with Ney for many years now, starting in San Francisco in 2007 and at various festivals around the country since then. Ney and his partner were our guides on our first trip to Argentina. We couldn’t have had better teachers or tour guides.
Ney’s classes are always fun as well as instructive. He finds new ways to communicate both fundamental and advanced concepts and goes out of his way to really connect with students, making everyone feel welcome.
As a dancer, his style is smooth and beautiful to watch, and it is always a pleasure to dance with him. He can turn a beginner into an enthusiast and help a more advanced dancer rediscover joy in tango. I highly recommend his classes.

I first learned Argentine tango from Ney Melo when he was based in San Francisco, and I’ve never found a better teacher — he’s endlessly patient and funny, and he does a great job of tailoring his instruction to everybody’s level, whether it’s their first class or their hundredth. Ney does a great job of breaking everything down; the fancy stuff all builds on the basics. After about four months of lessons, I went to Buenos Aires for 10 days and was able to handle almost anything my partners could throw at me!
Ney is a New York City native, and I’ll be sure to stop in for a class or two every time I’m in town. Whether you’re a total novice or have many years of experience, he’ll teach you something worth knowing and you’ll have a great time!
