Kimberly M. Brown
                                       http://christcenterfordance.org/our_staff/kimberly_m_brown

Kimberly has been ministering through song, mime, praise/worship dance, prophetic and interpretive dance over 10 years and has seen the Lord do mighty things in her ministry. She is an anointed worship artist, session leader and conference host.  She has a heart to praise and worship Him with all that is within her-"For in Him we move and have our being" (Acts 17:28) From a very early age, her love for the performing arts was evident. Throughout her adolescent and teenage years, Kimberly dreamed of singing and performing in front of large crowds. When the opportunity came for her to sign a small record deal, the hand of the Lord intervened and the contract fell through as the Lord had something else in store for her.
After a season of walking away from the Lord, Kimberly rededicated her life fully to His service and became of member of the Rock Church Family Worship Center in Philadelphia. Under the leadership of Apostle Bryant Lee and the late Charlene Phillips, she received her initial training in the ministry of praise and worship.  It was through her passion and love for the Lord that movement was birthed.  Recognizing this gift in 2000, she was released to form a praise and worship based dance ministry, “Beyond the Veil” and two years later,ChristCenter for Dance was born.

Kimberly received her formal technical training from Koresh Dance Company, Philadelphia and Dance World, Erdheim where she was also a dance instructor.  After receiving her technical training, she became the ministry leader of the Hallelujah Praise Dancers and Worship Coordinator at Macedonia Baptist Church, Norristown, PA.

Shortly after the opening of Christ Center for Dance, Kimberly wrote her first production called, "My Testimony" in 2004.  She has also written/director several dance productions including "Created to Worship" (2005) "Prayer Changes Things" (2006) and "The Revolution" (2008).  In January 2007 with co-writers/directors Timotheus Peay & Sarita Garlic, Kimberly co-wrote/co-directed, "The Nobodies", a musical broken up into three short stories.  The musical was first performed at Eisenhower Middle School and in January 2008 was performed a second time at the Arts Bank Theater at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.  After seeing the success of the show, Kimberly decided to separate the theater team from the dance school by forming "Nobodies Productions".  

Kimberly currently attends Tabernacle International Deliverance Church under the leadership of Pastor Brian Weatherspoon in Norristown, PA where she currently serves as ministry leader over the Instruments of Praise Dance Ministry and formally served as Dominion Praise & Worship Leader and Drama Ministry Leader.  
She is currently a 2nd Year student at Bethel School of Prophetic Development in Philadelphia as well as pursing her degree in Business Administration at Kaplan University.

Kimberly has a passion to teach and impart partial and biblical truths concerning the worship arts and has dedicated her life to the pursuit of that.
