Mrs. Brightwell, Artistic Director of Silhouette Dance Studio, has made dance and dance instruction an important part of her life. She was apart of the Ballet program at the University of Utah and received her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Ballet from Brigham Young University with an emphasis in teaching and performing. Ms. Brightwell taught at B.Y.U. and for the past twenty years has been teaching classical ballet, jazz, and tap throughout Salt Lake, Sandy and Orem cities. Kim has also enjoyed opportunities to teach in the public school system both at Provo and Highland High School. 

Mrs. Brightwell has trained under many renowned teachers from New York, Los Angeles and Utah including the founder of Ballet West, Willam F.

Together with dance, one of her greatest joys is spending time with her loving family.
