The Venue
Nestled within a lush green valley surrounded by tropical fruit trees, the Palacete de Cazulas is a hidden oasis of calm and tranquility. It is listed as one of Spain's protected historic houses. The property dates back to 1492 and has been gently updated to modern-day standards with 11 luxurious bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms.
There is a natural spring-fed swimming pool with water coming down from the Sierra Nevada, a tennis court, an intimate chapel, and dreamy romantic gardens to lose yourself in...
All rooms are different in size and comfort, as it goes in buildings with a long history, but each room has its charm and soul. The dance room will be available for practice outside of class times.

The Teachers
PEPA MUSICALITY CLASSES
Pepa Palazon, her musicality classes are 100% practical.
Pepa graduated from the Conservatory of Music of Buenos Aires (in Tango and Folklore) and has specialized in musical training for tango dancers for the last 8 years.
We will work on the verticality of Music, from dance: we study the different musical lines that can be heard at the same time in a tango. If you can hear them, you can choose which line to dance and how to dance it.
We will separate those lines and explore, with the dance and with concrete musical examples, the main rhythmic and melodic elements that we find in the Traditional Tango Orchestras.
