Hello Friends!

Before I came across the National Institute of Flamenco in downtown Albuquerque, I would not have thought of New Mexico and Flamenco in the same sentence. But after spending some time with these amazing dancers, I learned that there is a major connection to the Spanish art form in the Land of Enchantment.

Sadly, on December 18, 2013 the National Institute of Flamenco’s home of 15 years was destroyed in a fire. They are now working to rebuild after this devastating loss. If you would like to help keep Flamenco alive in New Mexico, please visit their site to see how you can help: National Institute of Flamenco

Lots of love,
