Chris Wong

Growing up in Hong Kong, Chris Wong (he/him) was inspired by late 90s and early 2000s pop icons Michael Jackson, Usher, NSYNC, and the Backstreet Boys. Relocating to Vancouver at age 13, he discovered and embraced dance wholeheartedly at 21. This newfound passion quickly led him to be voted as one of the city’s Top 3 Dancers within a few years, and shortly after he clinched a Top 4 spot in the house battle at the renowned Vancouver Street Dance Festival.

Chris’ dance style, a fusion of hip hop, house, popping, locking, and street jazz is enriched by his diverse training in places like LA, New York, and Tokyo, with a notable stint at the Street Style Lab Intensive in New York. He has shared the stage with Janet Jackson during her Unbreakable Tour, and showcased his skills on screen in “The Twilight Zone”, “Legends of Tomorrow,” and “Riverdale”. Chris has been an essential part of skeleton crews and has served as an assistant choreographer for TV shows and commercials.

As an actor, Chris has begun honing his skills in scene study class and private coaching with Vancouver’s top instructors. He brings a mass skill set to his work, drawing from his background in mixed martial arts, wing chun, Brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, Japanese and Chinese weaponry and fluency in Cantonese and Mandarin. Chris made his acting debut in the acclaimed feature film Joyride (Lionsgate) as the comedic TV Show Villain, and will recur in the CBC police procedural Allegiance, set to release winter of 2023.

In 2013, Chris established Culturally Defined, an innovative hip hop dance company, which now resides at the CD Clubhouse, Vancouver’s newest creative dance space. As the mastermind behind the CD Method, Chris is dedicated to nurturing versatile adult dancers, emphasizing that it’s never too late to pursue a dance dream.
