I had the best time ever. Cindera is a genius.

Cindera’s class is addictive, fun, sexy and inspiring. What is special about Cindera's dance class? You don't just move. She moves you to be better.

-Illeana Douglas, Actress, Ugly Betty
What Cindera does is “pure magic.” I send all my clients to her and they come back transformed. I believe movement is essential to the training of all actors. And Cindera is the best!!
- Jon Simmons, Manager and Acting Coach
Cindera’s class has unlocked my passion, sensuality, freedom and confidence in my body and dance ability in a way nothing else ever has.
- Ele Keats, Actress
Cindera makes her class exciting and non-threatening for non-dancers and a great place to play for dancers.
- Melora Hardin, Actress, The Office
I booked a national Mountain Dew commercial using Cindera's technique which allowed me to be present and at ease with myself.
- Jose Cueva, Actor
Cinderaís class has given me confidence with how I walk, a stronger sense of presence and has helped me tremendously with my posture. Moreover, it is fantastic fun, sexy, and a great workout.
- Susan Avery Ford, Business Owner
Cindera Che is a remarkable teacher! As an arts education director, it is imperative I hire people who are passionate about their profession, knowledgeable and nurturing. I have seen students go from having little or no knowledge of dance or movement to gaining more self confidence, a sense of fun, and increased awareness about their bodies. She is the kind of teacher every student hopes for and every conservatory is extremely fortunate to have.
- Marilyn Tokuda, Arts Education Director
I joined Cindera’s class to pass the dance cut at musical theater auditions. In addition to conquering those cuts, I’ve since discovered my passion for dance — and a great, compassionate teacher who’s impacted all I do.
- Erik Liberman, Actor and Author
This class gave me the confidence to follow my instincts and be myself. I was able to let loose and let my personality shine when meeting with a top agency recently. They signed me across the board.
- David A. Ramak, Actor
I had already had previous dance experience when I started Movement for Actors. However, this was the first time I was asked to consciously 'act' the dance. We are encouraged to learn choreography as acting moments. That, for me. was new and took my joy of dance to the next level. I love Cindera for her never-ending commitment to helping actors develop an understanding and mastery of their body as it relates to character and acting.
- Jamie Mann, Actor
Cindera's class supplied me with the grace and power needed to produce a solid performance as an actor.
- Dierdre Holder, Actress, Everybody Hates Chris
Cindera should rename her class Movement for Artists since you don’t have to be an actor to benefit from her teaching. The whole premise is to get out of your head, into your body, and to be creative in the moment regardless of your experience level as a dancer. As a writer who can get way too bogged down with thoughts, expectations and judgments, I find her class not just liberating and invigorating, but actually therapeutic. It is a weekly object lesson, reminding me that being creative doesn’t have to be torture, but in fact should be fun (fun! What a concept!).

Cindera 's talents are second to none. Her ability to transform the motionless into fluidity is remarkable. Her understanding of lyric interpretation is unmatched and I highly recommend her talents to any and all act/artist I produce. Having an artist truly understand movement and the link between the words they sing is paramount, this she embraces better than any!!. A++++
- Kurt Howell, Music Producer
What I've learned in this class is to release what I feel inside in that moment and express it with my body like a powerful explosion.
- Reynaldo Gianecchini, Actor, Belissima
Cindera is far more than a wonderful dance teacher. She’s an inspiration. Her Movement for Actors class returns to dance the fun, creativity and spirit of play we all crave as performers.
- Kent Klineman, Tony Award Winning Actor/ Acting Coach
I have been a dedicated student of Cindera’s m4a class for the last decade. As a female producer, I had forever struggled with the need to squash my femininity to earn the respect of my male peers and underlings. By giving me the freedom to unleash my passion for dance, my sexuality and my womanly confidence, Cindera has been instrumental in changing the way I work, the way I live, the way I love. Her teachings are paramount to building a well balanced existence for myself. She has enhanced and enriched my life in ways I never thought possible.
- Lisa Grezo, Producer
Warning! Not only can this class be addictive, it can make you deal with the here and now, NOW.
I grudgingly took Cindera's class for the first time about 4 years ago. Did I enjoy it? It was terrifying with no place to hide! Could I stop coming? NO!
NOW, I feel edgy if I miss a few weeks. 4 years later, I need it. Am I a "Dancer"? By no means. Am I more present in my body than ever in my entire life? YES!
- David Johann Kim, Actor/Producer/Director
I was really shy and self-conscious at first but the class helped me get over it. It's helped me to become more expressive, at ease, and open to going outside my comfort zone. I knew this was the class for me when we were hanging out in a yoga pose and she said, "Don't compare yourself to other people. Don't compare yourself to yourself five years ago."
Something in me relaxed.
- Caroline Green, Administrator
Training with Cindera have taken my auditions and my acting work to a more organic place. Cindera takes us out of our heads and puts us in our guts and our groins and our hearts.
- Amy Honey, Actor
I learned how to present more of myself in shows and auditions, and own up to, explore and be confident in all my abilities and skills through Cindera's classes.
- Michael Palma, Actor
As a performer it is vital to have a body that is in-tune with one’s feeling, thoughts & emotions. Cindera is an amazing teacher who helps me be in my body and be able to express myself through movement. She is a master and I fully and completely trust her. I recommend her Movement for Actors class to all performers. It’s also the most fun you can have...with your clothes on!
- Morris Nash, Actor and Producer
"Movement for Actors" could also be called "Movement for All" who love dance, fantastic music and experiencing the sheer joy of physical expression. Cindera has that rare gift and the expertise to fill every class with new and rich experiences that include each person there.
- Marti Bercaw, Graphic Designer
Movement for Actors is a hybrid dance class for EVERLY level. It’s ideal for any artist looking to mover their body and mind. What it does for your abs doesn’t suck, either!
- Trice Barto, Television Producer
Cindera’s Movement for Actors class is a wonderful, safe place to let go of inhibition and start to trust your inner song. It is not just any old movement class. It's an environment where being "bad" is "good". I am no dancer but everyone's body has a story to tell and Movement for Actors helped me to liberate the on going saga my body must tell. It has helped me in every aspect of my life not just my career.
- Tracee Ross, Actress, Girlfriends
Dance is an important way for actors to get in touch with their emotions. Cindera’s class is a terrific tool for this. Her Movement for Actors class enhances every actor’s versatility.
- Amanda Glazer, Talent Agent
Having been a professional dancer for over a decade, stopping for several years, and then discovering the urge to return to class – Cindera’s “Movement for Actors” couldn’t be a more perfect fit if she tried. I get all the same benefits of the joy and passion I always felt for dancing, without all the pressures (and injuries) of being a “Diva”. To be guided by her energy and commitment that artists are whole beings, is absolutely refreshing and inspiring. Thank you Cindera for restoring my love for dance.
- Elaine Hendrix, Actress, Parent Trap
“I have taken class with Cindera since the 1980’s and she has ALWAYS been a force to reckon with. She is one of THE most passionate and inspiring teachers and artists I have ever met. She understands what it is to be an artist from the top of your head to the very tips of your toes to, inside and out. Whatever level you are at, she truly knows all that is required to help elevate you to your absolute highest potential, from the smallest details of how to use your body correctly to letting yourself go and expressing your soul and spirit. She pushes you and drives you without ever making you feel judged. She brings all of herself and she expects you to do the same. What more could you ask for?
- Tina Cardinale – Actor/Dancer, Writer Director
Until I experienced Cindera's classes I thought a “Winning Attitude” meant, you must be perfect, even the first time you try, INSANITY!!!! Right? Under Cinderas’ loving yet direct, no-nonsense approach I am practicing “being” and accepting where I am in the moment, no matter what level that may be, to observe and make adjustments rather than judge and condemn myself. Cindera guides me to honor, listen and respond to my body in the moment and not to force it to do things I am not ready to do yet she knows when you are ready for the next challenge as well and will push you when you are getting in your own way. Cindera has the experience and innate wisdom to know when to push and when to soothe. Cindera embodies all the elements I believe a teacher could posses to help her students evolve in whatever arena they are pursuing. Cindera’s teaching has not only positively affected me as a dancer but throughout my entire life!!!
Oh yeah, did I mention, “IT’S SO MUCH FUN, IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL????!!!!!!!!!
- Tara Raucci, Dancer/Actress
"Che classes, especially the valentine workshop-
give me the ability and freedom to be me full out
- NO FEAR"
- Terry E. Scott, Mistress of Ceremony
"This is definitely the most outside-of-the-box coaching I've ever experienced. Usually I focus on the movement and what the body is doing, not so much about where the movement is coming from. In a lot of ways, it is coming from the inside. Normally I am reserved and I keep my emotion inside. She was really able to get that out of me. It was so great working with Cindera. She's amazing."
