Christine Van Loo currently stars as a circus trainer and performance partner to the stars on NBC’s daring new reality show “Celebrity Circus.” As a trainer on Celebrity Circus, Van Loo hopes to share her love for circus artistry not only with the celebrities on the show, but with all of America.

Van Loo has grown up all over the world including various U.S. states, Italy, and a Mayan Indian village in the Yucatan. Van Loo began her love for acrobatic gymnastics in New Orleans at age eight after her parents took her to an exhibition by a Soviet acrobat and his partner.

She was inducted into the USSA (acro-gymnastics) Hall of Fame and the World Acrobatics Society Gallery of Honor as acrobatic legend.

After retiring from competition, Van Loo spent five years teaching acrobatics, gymnastics, and dance. However she missed performing in front of live audiences. Van Loo then decided to audition for Cirque du Soleil and two weeks later was invited to join Cirque. This sparked the beginning of a career as a professional aerialist and acrobat. Van Loo then became a professional aerialist and acrobat, performing at such venues as the 2002 Winter Olympics, the “Grammy Awards” with No Doubt and Ricky Martin, the “American Music Awards” with Aerosmith, the “Miss Universe” pageant, and Paul McCartney's European tour, as well as several feature films, television shows and music videos. Van Loo also has choreographed the aerial gymnastics moves for Britney Spears World Tour and the Stars on Ice U.S. tour.

Dibbs Mejia currently stars as a circus trainer and performance partner to the stars on NBC’s daring new reality show “Celebrity Circus.”

Mejia is of Filipino and Hawaiian descent, born in the Philippines and raised in California. He was introduced to this genre of dancing through his ethnic culture and is a third generation Samoa fire-knife dancer. Mejia’s uncle from Hawaii taught him how to fire dance at the age of 14, and he has been inspired ever since to continue his uncle’s legacy.

Subsequently, Mejia joined the Halao, Manea group and they participate in multiple events for private luaus, company parties and casinos in Southern California. His passion and love for the culture has enabled him to become a professional dancer, but for now dancing is his hobby, as his main goal is to earn a degree in medicine.

After six years of being a dancer, he was fortunate to have an audition for “Celebrity Circus.” The art of fire knife dancing is not just a dance to Mejia; it is also presentation, personality, and understanding the history of fire-knife dancing. It is not about the best moves or how fast a dancer can spin the knife; it is about making it into art.]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:31:08 -0700 http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=794819
