What’s New at NIF
La Resurrección: 2014 Fall Membership Campaign
We’re kicking off our fall membership campaign! La Resurrección: Building Flamenco for the Future targets three specific programs- the Education Fund, the Costume Reconstruction Fund, and Facility Planning and Development.
NIF’s New Facility
In January 2015, the National Institute of Flamenco will celebrate the grand opening of its new home at 1620 Central Avenue SE. The two-story brick building provides 3,800 square feet for three flamenco dance studios, administrative offices, retail space, and options for in-house flamenco tablao performances. The Directors and leadership of the organization enthusiastically support this next step forward for the National Institute of Flamenco as the first of many milestones to come in the rebuilding of the organization’s infrastructure after the devastating fire in 2013. The new location will provide a cost-effective and secure mid-term solution, allowing the organization to continue the rigorous process of due diligence on a permanent facility.
Montezuma Ball
The Montezuma Ball is Albuquerque’s premier and most prestigious fundraising event of the season. The National Institute of Flamenco is honored to announce that we have been designated as the Secondary Beneficiary of The Montezuma Ball 2014.
