Hi Wingers!
Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but I have been keeping busy with So You Think You Can Dance, and since I wasn’t able to blog about that, I really didn’t have much to say!
Anyhow for anyone who missed it and wanted to see it, I’ve found some clips of it on youtube and I thought I would post it.
And for those that are new to the Winger, welcome! I blog here about dance and if you would like to keep updated on my season at Miami City Ballet, come check out the Winger!

Finally, I also wanted to thank everyone for being so supportive of me - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

You’re solo at Vegas was truly breathtaking. It was really too bad that you couldn’t be on the show! I really loved watching you dance. It was inspiring and I would love to see you on stage live.

Alex, it was a pleasure to watch the few clips they showed of you on SYTYCD. I am positive if you had been allowed out of your contract and to participate on the show, you would have gone all the way and won. Best of luck with all of your future ventures and I’ll continue to follow what you are up to via Winger.

Alex–you were the one and only reason I planned to give the show one last chance this year. But I watched open-mouthed, in horror, as Nigel Lythgoe dropped that bomb on you last week. I am so very sorry. You are an astonishing, sterling dancer and you also seem like a genuinely nice guy. Best wishes to you always.

Alex,
You deserve all the best. I watched how supprtive you were to all of the dancers before you went in–simply stellar. A tribute to your character.
You opened the eyes of many to the world of ballet. Your future is going to be amazing! How fortunate we got a glimpse of your talent on TV.

my favorite part of your video from Las Vegas week is when Debbie Allen mouths “shut up” during your solo.

Dear Alex,
As a former “movician” having studied and performed in Europe,and USA mime,dance and theatre, I am a big fan and supporter of dance. Your last performance on So You Think You Can Dance, was breathtaking! I was stunned by the pure power and beauty. It was Bruce Lee’s 2″ punch that would send opponents flying on their derrieres. I was floored. And I was also floored by the announcement of you not being let out of your contract in Miami! What the…?! Why wasn’t this worked out before you auditioned? Wouldn’t you being in the top 20 on So You Think You Can Dance bring a ton of publicity to your dance company in Miami and increase it’s audience? I don’t get it. And I’m so frustrated that I won’t see you anymore being that I live in California. Stay healthy,good luck and I hope to see you on the show next year. And gosh, I’m still upset that you’re not on the show!

You are the shiz and thats pretty much the best way to get knocked off the show. Good luck on your future excursions in and away from the ballet.

Alex, stay true to yourself - always! If SYTYCD has started a new phase of self-discovery and -expression for you, continue that journey. It may be at a slower pace, for now. “To thine own self - be true.”

Alex
Thank you guys so much for your supportive comments!!! I really appreciate it more than I can possibly express! Thank you!!

Alex, you are absolutely amazing, normally when i watch sytycd, i just pay attention to the hiphoppers, but when i saw your solos, u definitely introduced me to a different view of dancing overall. I can’t wait to see you on sytycd again, I was so sad when they said you were under contract.

Patty
Such a shame that you couldn’t stay on the show. You were my favorite. Do you plan to try again when your contract ends? When does your contract end? And when can I possibly fly down to Miami to see you in the meantime?

Dear Alex,
You are amazing and I was anxious to see what you would do with the other genres of dance. I was so disappointed for you because you were so hurt. I was also disappointed that I was not going to see more of your dancing.
We’ve gotten a taste, now we all want more!
Keep on dancing.

Alex… we wish you were dancing up here in Vancouver. I cried when I saw the episode that Miami wouldn’t let you out of your contract! You were our favorite. Keep dancing and we’ll keep watching.

Alex, those clips were amazing. Too bad you couldn’t stay in the competition. Best of luck with whatever you do.
PS I also loved the Single Ladies video backstage in the DQ costumes.

Please tell me you will be able to joing SYTYCD next season! Hopefully your contract with the Miami Ballet will be up by then! I’m crushed that you will not be on the show this year!

I was gutted when you had to leave the show! The breathtaking quality of your dance just leaped off the screen…
Best of luck to you in the future!

Alex I was so pleased with your dancing. I am so proud of you. I was very sad to hear that they wouldn’t let you out of your contract. Please give another go Asap !!!!

My sister and I truly loved your stay on SYTYCD! When I saw that you were on I screamed out “OMG I know who that is!” hahaha. You are a beautiful dancer and I know for a fact that you will go very far in your career in and out of the ballet world. I really hope that once you are done with Miami City Ballet you go back to SYTYCD just so I can have the chance to watch you and enjoy your dancing every Wednesday night!
Best of Luck with everything!!!!

I was rooting for you the show. Please don’t give up on the show and audition again when your contract end. No matter what happens, with your ability—your bound to go far in life.

As soon as they introduced you I knew you were from the Winger. I hope someday you’re able to go back. It would make a non-voter vote! Your solos were just amazing.

I applaud you for expanding into a different dance area! I have heard that MCB will be getting a few more audience members because of your exposure on SYTYCD—your dancing talent excited a lot of people.
Go with your flow, baby boy!
All the best to you.

Alex,
You are completely captivating! I never had much of an interest in dance before I saw you, but you are electrifying

Hey Alex! I remember seeing you on SYTYCD season 5 and was so proud! After the finale, I had to look up to see if you were going to be on season 6 lol. Do you think you will be able to be on the show in the near future? I want to see you dance all genres! I admire you lots! i wish I could meet you!

I know that the season you auditioned for is over but I still think about how (you) another ballet person (besides Melissa Sandvig) could have been on that show. There could have been a pas de deux with you and Melissa.
Well … the show seems like it is going to be on for quite a few years. So … try again!!

Dear Alex,
From the little I saw of your auditions from So You Think You Can Dance you are extremely talented. From all the dancers and performances your audition was the standout of last season.
I was hoping that you would perhaps be allowed to try out again but here it is Sept. 2nd. and I can’t find any news about you. Let me just say that the viewing public and anyone who loves dance has been robbed of the chance to see an extraordinary dancer.
Good Luck in the future. I only wish I was able to see you dance on stage. Thank you for being such a wonderful and talented dancer.

Alex. We just got the new SYTYCD series in South Africa and WOW, you amazed us all. I cried when Nigel said you wouldn’t be allowed out of your contract. What an absolute shame because you most certainly would have won by a mile.
BRILLIANT is an absolute understatement for what you bring to the dance stage!!!
