about ki

Kiana Raine Cintrón is an actress, dancer, singer, and musician. She can usually be seen on stage as the ingénue, the crazy comedic relief, or the featured dancer/aerialist. Her performances are driven by a story-first narrative and she grounds every choice in the honesty of her character.

As a first-generation Cubana Americana, she is incredibly proud of her culture and where her family came from. Her maternal family came to Miami on a freedom flight in 1966. Growing up, her grandmother was always painting dancers in big, beautiful dresses on the beaches of Havana. To say she was inspired would be an understatement. Here she is, almost three decades later, still wanting to be the pretty dancers in those paintings. The rest of her siblings are visual artists, but in classic middle-child fashion, she had to be a little different and go the performing arts route.

She's a book-loving, tea-obsessed, insomniac. You'll always find her working on some kind of project. Whether she's teaching, cooking in the kitchen, learning a new skill or hobby (because why not?), just know she's already thought about what she wants for breakfast tomorrow.
