World-renowned tango dancers and teachers Ney Melo & Jennifer Bratt started in the New York City and Buenos Aires tango scenes, learning from the old milongueros and dancing every night in the milongas. They started their tango classes in NYC in 2003. These classes were immensely popular. In 2007, they relocated to the West Coast and opened their studio "TangoVida San Francisco" on 1120 Pacific Street in San Francisco. After many marvelous years there, they have returned to New York City and have added two new tangueros to the family: Kilian and Starla.

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, 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 NY, Ney and Jennifer have been busy touring the world. They regularly teach and perform in Italy, Romania, Istanbul, Australia, and New Zealand as well as extensively all over North America.
