Jacqueline Dunnley-Wendt grew up with her maiden name Jacqueline Dunn in Birmingham, England.

She studied classical ballet, jazz dance, tap, modern dance, contemporary dance (Graham technique), drama, singing and dance education at The Urdang Academy of Ballet and Performing Arts in Covent Garden, London. She graduated with a Diploma in Teaching Musical Theatre and an Associate Teaching Certificate from the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and the Royal Society of Arts in Dance History and Anatomy and Physiology for Dancers.

In addition to her British citizenship, she has held German citizenship since 2020.
