Kristin Brown:
My name is Kristin Brown and I have a BA in Dance from Brigham Young University. I have had 18 years of dance experience and specialize in contemporary, modern, ballet, tap, and jazz. I have taught dancers of all ages and stages in studio, conservatory and university settings, as well as teaching under-privelged communities nationally and internationally.
I grew up doing competitions with Dance Educator’s of America where our company always received high awards and recognition. I have danced on the Timpanogos High School Dance Team, as dancer for the Utah Flash Basketball Team, on BYU’s Foot Poetry (tap company), and as president and soloist of BYU’s Contemporary Dance Theatre (CDT).
One of my favorite roles was performing "Angelitos Negros" as the chosen soloist for dance legend and renowned choreographer Donald McKayle. I continue to expand my training by attending workshops, intensives and other professional teaching and performing opportunities. Some of my favorites have been with: San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, Paul Taylor - Patrick Corbin and Maureen Mansfield Kaddar, Complexions Contemporary Ballet - Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson.
I love working at Artistic Dance. One of my greatest passions is motivating and inspire the children I work with. I encourage personal
development through self-expression and the building of self-esteem. I do this
by motivating children to expand their abilities and reinforcing proper technique.
I am a positive person and believe that dance should be both enriching and
enjoyable.
