The studio’s flat-screen TV was ripped from the wall, leaving two large holes in its place. The TV, which NIF used for announcements and to show performance videos, was $500. Associate Director Marisol Encinias said it will cost $1,500 to replace the door, and they have already spent a few hundred dollars for a temporary repair. Luckily, Encinias said, nothing else was taken. “They grabbed what they could and took off.
We’re glad they didn’t take as much as they could have,” Encinias said. Dancers returned to the studio at 1620 Central Ave. from performing in Santa Fe at 11 p.m. on Feb. 4. The door was undamaged, and the TV still hung on the wall. Dancers noticed a man shouting near the Central Avenue entrance of the studio, and left the area to avoid him. At 9 the following morning, a construction worker remodeling The Church of Christ at 1701 Gold Ave. noticed the broken door at the Institute’s Pine Street entrance and called the police. Police were unable to get fingerprints. The police have been called to the studio many times in the two years NIF has been in the area, Encinias said. People use drugs nearby, leaving behind needles. Prostitutes hang around the area, and they found a man sleeping on their roof. “Every once and awhile there’s a disturbance. We’re hoping to get a new camera system and flood lights to deter people from hanging around the studio,” she said.
Encinias said she likes the location because it’s close to NIF’s partners, the University of New Mexico and Tierra Adentro Charter School, but wants police to monitor the area to discourage crime. NIF Directors signed the lease for the current space in 2014, a year after their downtown studio burned down. Encinias’ mother, Eva Encinias, founded NIF to support her dance company, Ritmo Flamenco, in 1982. Along with the University of New Mexico, and Tierra Adentro Charter School, the non-profit dance organization partners with The National Hispanic Cultural Center and Heritage Hotels. The company trains dancers of all ages, and gives out 60 scholarships a year. NIF directors are not raising funds for damages, but raising money for their 30th annual Festival Flamenco. The NIF’s next event will be held on Feb. 12 at Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque (300 Rio Grande Blvd.) to announce the guest artists coming for Festival Flamenco 2017. It begins at 3 p.m. Western Parable Gets Eastern Treatment

I was very pleased with the service. The tech, Tony was very professional and a pleasure to deal with! Did a very quick and good fixer. The technician called me to explain the resolution with the garage door and answered all my questions with expertise. I highly recommend Jarrod (?). Once the installer finished, and I checked it. I thought that it needed a few adjustments.He made the adjustments. Now everything is operating smoothly. I did not receive a receipt that I signed. Please send it to me. Our technician was awesome! Both techs very proffessional and courtesy. Brian should be commended for such professional service. He is a tremendous credit and representative of Sears! The technician was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Very satisfied he had to come at 9 pm and it was below zero!

Jason was very well-informed, cordial and pleasant to deal with. My service consultant Marcos Martell was outstanding. I would rate him a ten.

The technician Matt was on time, very pleasant, neat and completed the work correctly.Showed me how everything worked and answered all questions . Will definitely use Sears again in the future. he was very nice and professional! They were very helpful, friendly and courteous. I had to call to find out when the appt was scheduled.

I would request him again. Our Sears "Tech" Cody was very knowledgeable, industrious and personable. We were very pleased with the results.

Technician was very professional and courteous. no everything was fine, thanks Great service the tech was extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable. well worth the money. Paul was both professional and pleasant. He explained my options, laid out the things I might want to consider, and we decided what to have done.
I was extremely pleased. Very pleasant, efficient and professional in completing the task, and went beyond expectations. I think the charge of $75.00 to come out and find nothing wrong and not have to do anything at all . Didn't have to do work is pretty high. I have Sears, washer, dryer, stove, microwave and refrigerator. Not sure I would call Sears if something went wrong with them. e-mail receipts are not something I like. I would much prefer a paper receipt at the time of service. Jeff did a great job! Now we'll see what installation and performance match the above... Tomas was very helpful,throughout the estimate process Just to begin with, I am a very Customer service centric person. My experience with sears on this issue was propably the best experience I could have expected. 1st- the lady I spoke with was very pleasant and educated on the topic of my garage door. 2nd the appt time could not have been any better! They were here within an hour of me calling!
