Ney Melo is a larger than life character who is equally at home entertaining you off the dance floor as on it. A die hard of the Villa Urquiza style, Ney practices what he preaches when it comes to the elegance and sophistication of the dance. We will be getting up close and personal to Ney as we will interview him and get his views on tango prior to LMDC 4, but in the meantime here as some snippets from the man himself.
"There will never be a step, sequence, or trick in tango that will come close to matching the power of the embrace." - Ney Melo
"When we are all on the dancefloor together, we are "milongueando". When you and your partner are alone on the dancefloor, and people pay to watch you perform, then you are doing an "exhibición". Don't do your "exhibición" while we are all on the floor with you!" - Ney Melo
"Here is a tango secret: If you want to learn to dance like "X" then take classes with "X" and do everything he/she tells you to do, if you want to learn to dance like "Y" then take classes with "Y" and do everything he/she tells you to do. Sorry, but there is no universal system" - Ney Melo
