Cinda began her passion for dance watching her mother teach at Joel’s House of Dance in Little Rock, Arkansas.​Starting at the age of 3, Cinda studied ballet, jazz, pointe, modern, and tap (her favorite!) for 16 years under the mentorship of Joel Ruminer. Her senior year of highschool she was presented the prestigious Outstanding Senior Dancer Award. After graduating she was honored to travel with the nationally known Joel Ruminer’s Dance Camps as a Dance Camp Kid where she had the opportunity to train under top masters such as Al Gilbert, Jimmy Peters, Mary Lou Barnes, Marcus Alford, and many others. Cinda started teaching dance in high school and continued through college teaching at several studios around Arkansas. In 2002 she moved to Austin with her husband to start a family and in 2005 had twins Eyan and Chloe. After spending the past 7 years as a dance mom at Alisa’s Dance Academy, she’s excited to get back to dancing and joining the ADA staff.
