In Data Frames Part B, you can achieve the melt equivalent with gather:

> data("iris")
> force("iris")
> library(tidyr)
> iris$ID <- 1:nrow(iris)
> tidyIris <- iris %>% gather(measureType, measure, -ID, -Species)
> View(tidyIris)
> tidyIris[tidyIris$ID==1,]
    Species ID  measureType measure
1    setosa  1 Sepal.Length     5.1
151  setosa  1  Sepal.Width     3.5
301  setosa  1 Petal.Length     1.4
451  setosa  1  Petal.Width     0.2
