Canadian born Christine Wunderlich fell in love with dance as a young teenager. She first studied dance at Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet School and then went on to finish her training at the prestigious Alvin Ailey School in NYC. 

After finishing her training, Christine began freelancing in NYC and was soon offered a job to perform with Royal Caribbean Productions, travelling and entertaining audiences around the world. This was also her introduction to the aerial world, when casted as a harness-flying show girl! Christine was hooked and began training and performing aerial silks, lyra, bungee harness and various unique bespoke aerial apparatuses.

Christine has grown her love of aerial and is a certified Circus Instructor from Montreal’s École Nationale de Cirque (National Circus School of Canada), and is an ACE (American Circus Educators) certified Aerial Physique Master Trainer with Jill Franklin’s Aerial Physique based in Los Angeles, California.  She now leads Aerial Physique Teacher Training’s throughout Europe on behalf of Jill Franklin. In addition, Christine is a BCRPA Fitness Leader and Personal Trainer. 

Currently, Christine lives in Berlin, Germany where she continues to perform on the world’s biggest theatre stage at Friedrichstadt-Palast Berlin. There she is featured as an aerialist and dancer in the theatre’s current production: VIVID Grand Show.

It is her passion to combine both art forms, creating a fusion of “dance in the air” and bringing her unique style to performance, choreography and teaching.
