Flamenco artist Marisol Encinias taught junior and senior dance majors.

Encinias (front of class) is an assistant professor at the University of New Mexico, where there is a concentration in flamenco within the Theatre & Dance Department.

Specific to flamenco is the improvisational relationship between song/poem, guitarist and dancer.

Singer/guitarist Vicente Griego accompanied the class.

A student practices her "floreo" or handwork. Floreo means "to flower" in Spanish.

Students took part in multiple classes in flamenco technique and history over Encinias' four-day residency.

Encinias' residency culminated with an informal performance last Friday in the Black Box Theatre in the Center for the Arts..
