In 1999, Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company set forth on an artistic journey that would become America’s most distinctive flamenco project. This revolutionary performance entity combined the mosaic quality of the American repertory company with the authentic idiom of flamenco, creating a living archive of choreographic masterworks.

Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company is a 2022 NDP Grant Awardee. Support was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts with funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to address continued sustainability needs during COVID-19 and in support of MESTIZX.

Yjastros is the dance company in residence in the University of New Mexico’s Department of Theatre and Dance.
