About
Carlos Montúfar is the founder and Executive Director of the Phoenix World Arts Collective. His passion for world dance is rooted in his 16+ year career as a professional Flamenco dancer. He experienced first hand the lack of opportunities available to many aspiring and professional performing artists to improve their craft in a welcoming and supportive environment. This understanding paired with his enthusiasm for bringing multi-cultural events to the Phoenix art scene culminated in the creation of the Phoenix World Arts Collective. Carlos is the driving force behind all PWAC events, creating interesting and elegant events involving people of all ages and cultural backgrounds.
