Hey Wingers!!
I’m sorry I haven’t been able to post in such a long time. With a tv show, there are a lot of things we’re not allowed to do, and any sort of interactions on the internet are one of them! But now that I’m off the show, I can somewhat resume to a normal daily life.
Just thought I would update you all on what has happened since I last posted! SO - I auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance again (season 7) and after a long and grueling process, I made it to the top 10! (Top 11 this year). I had such an amazing journey on the show and I learned SO much and I am so grateful for everything. I spent 5 weeks on the show, and during that 5 weeks I had the most life changing experience. I know it sounds crazy that something can really drastically change your life in 5 weeks, but this definitely does! With the crazy schedule, how much we learn and the amazing people that you get to work with AND live with, it just completely betters you as a person.
I’ll update everyone later on my specific experience through the whole process but I just wanted to check in first and let everyone know how I am doing. On my 5th week, I suffered an injury the night before show day during a rehearsal of my Bollywood piece on stage. I completely snapped my right Achilles tendon in half, and that has forced me to withdraw from the competition.
I’m just waiting here in LA for my surgery tomorrow morning (Tuesday, July 13th) and hoping that it all goes well so I can start my long journey to recovery!
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey and that I am so grateful for even being here in the first place.
If you’d like to follow me closely I will be keeping my facebook page and my twitter page constantly updated. You can follow me on twitter here:

Enjoy!

Alex I just wanted to let you know that this middle-aged mother of two got so much pleasure out of watching you on the show. You are riveting to watch and seem like such a genuine person. Your hip hop routine with Twitch is on continuous loop at my house - my kids love to watch it! I was so heartbroken to see you leave the show and I hope they just put you in the top ten next year. Good luck with your recovery and keep all of us fans updated. You are amazing!

I like how the broadway performance (Fosse) has been missing from everybody’s mind. L O L! I blame Tyce for this. I kid, I kid (or not). Anywho, I feel like I’m becoming such a groupie, though. I am following you on FB, Twitter and now here. You lucky I love reading blogs. I have one of my own but I’ll keep that to myself until I’m ready. Oh and let me not forget that I’ve seen ALL of your YouTube videos.
I’m wishing you a safe surgery, and since you’re gonna pull through, a speedy recovery. You are a fantastic dancer! Above all, you have a great personality. There is a reason that so many viewers are still rooting for your career. Take care! :o)

Alex, I was heartbroken for you when you had to once again detour your journey, but this time due to an accident. You are an exceptional dancer of the highest calibre and we’re all the better for having seen your artistry. Take care of yourself, rest, get well and we’ll see you centre stage very soon.

Everything happens for a reason, although we may not know what that reason is at the time. Just concentrate on recovering and take it nice and easy. I think it’s safe to say that there will always be a place in the dance world for you, Alex.

My family and I wish you a speedy recovery! We were all gutted to hear you have to go for surgery. I’m talking tears all around. You really made this season of SYTYCD spectacular… we hope to see you next year, and hopefully on tour too!!! x

Praying for you. May peace and wisdom reign in the surgery room. Hope for a complete healing that will make you even stronger.
Despite the judges’ comment, you danced the jazz gorgeously as well.
You know that THAT hip hop dance has been nicknamed ‘the Twilex Hip Hop’?

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your talents with us and best wishes for a speedy recovery. I’ve watched SYTYCD since its inception and was starting to tire of it until you came along. I think who you are combined with both your natural and acquired talent create a force that is hard not to like. I have no doubts that you will recover and go on to even bigger and better things, I just hope they happen in a venue I have access to.

Yumi Yamashita
Alex! I’ve been your huge fan since season 5 and I was filled with joy when I heard you were in the TOP 11 this season. Watching you dance every Wednesday became the highlight of my week. I was inspired not only by your dancing but also by your personality which shines thru the camera. You are a genius but yet you are so humble, passionate, eager to learn, kind, caring, and funny !
The recovery and rehab process might probably be a long and tough journey..I can only imagine…. but please stay positive and you have all our prayers and love!!!!
You are already the winner in my heart ! <3
Love you so much AlEX !!

Have been watching SYTCD since S2 and have enjoyed the show, but have never gotten invested in one contestant until we saw you! We are praying for your full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing more amazing work from you in the future!

Alex, I am sending you positive thoughts for a very speedy recovery to your dancing days. It is SO evident in your performances how much you enjoy what you do. I hope you go back next season to SYTYCD, so we the American audience can enjoy more of you!

Aw man, that stinks! I saw your hip-hop performance, and I must have watched it 100 times. It was really neat! Our whole family is wishing you a speedy recovery.

Meant to add: are you a reader at all? With recovery months ahead, perhaps you would like recommendations? If you have a kindle or iPad or whatever, maybe we could send you something? This will be a time of great contemplation and growth…just as you have expressed the last five weeks have been. Chin up, young person!

Alex,
My husband and I never watch reality shows; just comedic sitcoms like Chuck and the Office. SYTYCD, however, is a show that we both are hooked on. The level of skill and dedication is awe inspiring.
As for you… I wanted to see you dance since season 6 and we are/were both convinced that you should be the one to win this season. You are such a beautiful dancer. Your dance with Twitch last week had us up off the couch, and me with my hands on my cheeks much like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. We love you! We were both brought to tears tonight when we watched the show, as soon as we heard that you were injured. I sincerely hope that you come back next year and we will both pray for success with your surgery.
God Bless,
Chrissie

Thank you guys so much for the kind words!! I have 1 more hour until I’m not allowed to consume anything to prep for surgery!
I am excited to finally get the healing process started

Alex,
You are an inspiration as much for your strength of character as you are for your awesome dancing. I know that you will recover from your injury and emerge as an even better dancer, because the alternative is just not an option for you. You have touched so many people in such a short period of time. It is such a testament to your internal strength and your will to succeed. I believe that you have a rare and inate ability to face any adversity and transform it into an advantage. It is evident in every movement you make and your movements have galvinized a country in celebration of you. You possess a courage that few people share, as there are not many who would risk what they have just for the opportunity to attain something better. It is a courage that will propel you through your recovery at light speed. I am so grateful that you took the chance to share your talent with the world. You have reminded me of the incredible strength of the human spirit. You have only begun your journey and no matter where it takes you, I have no doubt it will take you to greatness. Godspeed, Alex and recover soon so you can embrace us once again with your extraordinary gifts.
Jul 13, 2010 @ 06:09

Hey buddy, I just caught up with SYTYCD tonight and learned about your injury. I’m so sorry that I will no longer be able to watch you, but I want to thank you for being such an inspiration. You dance beautifully, and more importantly, you seem to be a genuine and nice guy. All the best and get well soon!
Jul 13, 2010 @ 06:13

The night before surgery is always unnerving, yet you took the time to post an update to your blog. This is why you are loved! Rest well, heal and know that a multitude of positive thoughts are coming your way!
Bon courage!

Alex! I’m been watching and waiting for you since S5. I’m so happy that you got to show how amazing you are. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched videos of your dancing. I was devastated when you were eliminated from the show but your positivity and upbeat personality really shed rays of sunlight. I hope you have a speedy recovery. I can’t wait to see you dancing again =].
Love you!

Haha, it’s funny how Tasty Oreo’s routine seemed to have disappeared into oblivion. IMO you smashed it, given the circumstances you had to work with.
Hope you quick recovery! SYTYCD is not the same without you. Whether or not you come back to it, I’m certain that the future will hold great opportunities for you!
Keep us posted =] I will follow on all available resources.

Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. So glad you had the chance to appear on SYTYCD so that so many of us could discover a vibrant new talent on the dance scene. I hope to be following your career for many years to come.

Good luck with your surgery and let the healing begin very, very soon. You were the highlight of this season’s SYTYCD and I looked forward to each Wednesday night to see you perform and what amazing magic you would bring to the stage. I echo the sentiments of other posters that it was exciting to see a broader public see you perform and I am looking forward to seeing what you do once you are fully mended.
Jul 13, 2010 @ 14:06
Jenny
I don’t know where you are in the surgery process at the moment, but just know that there will be many people praying for you today. Though recovery is a long and painful process, I want you to know that everyone who has ever seen you dance will say that it will all be worth it if we can you on stage again. I have never seen someone who so beautifully captures the expressions of the human condition. Yours is truly a gift. Best of luck and love to you in your healing.
Jul 13, 2010 @ 14:35

Hey Alex,
Good luck with everything and the hip surgery. I love that you are so versatile as a dancer.. ballet, then turn around and do hip-hop the next time. That’s so awesome and that’s something I want to strive for in my dance career: dance a whole lot of different styles.
Take care!
Jul 13, 2010 @ 14:58

Good luck in your surgery tomorrow, Alex. I will miss seeing you dance on the show. You are phenomenal!

Sending healing thoughts your way. My husband and I both think your Sonia Tayeh dance with Alison was a real work of art - like nothing we’ve ever experienced before. We can’t wait until next season when you’re back on the show, and we look forward to following your career wherever it takes you.
I went through ankle rehab a few years ago after breaking both ankle bones. It’s work, but as a dancer you’re used to working much harder than I ever have. I know you’ll come through it stronger than ever. Stay strong! The world needs you and your art -
Jul 13, 2010 @ 17:51
Christie
Alex,
Your dancing is poetry and your soul shines through your movements. My heart hurts for you too…watching your elimination made me cry and feel so angry for you. Had you been able to stay on the show, I think you would have won. My dream is to watch you on next year’s SYTYCD…and rejoice with you on the night that you WIN!
You are a beautiful person who has touched many hearts and is most certainly loved. Keep the faith–the love and positivity you send out will always come back to you!
Jul 13, 2010 @ 18:27
Tracey
The surgery’s completed by now, and totally successfully, I hope and pray. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your stint on SYTYCD, and especially the routine with Twitch - that made my week! I was crushed when Nigel announced that you could not continue (not remotely as crushed as you were, of course), but I’m also incredibly grateful to have seen you perform. The only good things about the end of Thursday’s show were that no one else had to go home - and that Nigel said you already have an invitation for next season. Can’t wait.
Take care of yourself!
Jul 13, 2010 @ 18:39

Hey Alex! Sorry to hear about your injury and i wish you a complete recovery. You were easily the favorite this season; thanks for bringing us those great performances while you were on the show. Here’s to them letting you come back for season 8!

Alex:
I pray that your surgery went well today and that you have a full and speedy recovery. Being the professional you are, I know it’s going to be hard to slow down to allow healing - listen to your body.
I’ve watched SYTYCD since season One and have never been so inspired by a dancer, nor so devastated by an injury. You have been gifted with amazing talent, and your graciousness was a joy to able to witness.
You are truly a special man and I wish you nothing but wonderful things in your future. Selfishly, I’m hoping you’ll be able to squeeze SYTYCD into your schedule next year!!
Jul 14, 2010 @ 05:00
Your Fan
Alex!!! This could get long, so bare with me!
First off, I just want to repeat what everyone is telling you here - you are incredible, not only as a dancer, but a person as well.
I watched your exit of SYTYCD with tears running down my face because it broke my heart to see yours breaking.
I’m very glad to know that your surgery went well and I have no doubt your recovery will go just as well.
A few months back, I went through some life altering changes in my life, and I truly empathize with your pain. The pain and heartache will dull with time, this I promise you. I know you’ll miss the other contestants and you might even be thinking right now how even when/if you come back, it won’t be the same without them - again, I empathize, I’ve been through something very similar. There will be anger, frustration, tears, etc…but this too shall pass. Just imagine the depth of your growth after all this. I can only imagine how many times you have asked “why?” and unfortunately, we’re not promised that answer on this side of our lives. I know there’s higher purpose for you and remember that He promises to never leave or forsake you.
I would love to share with you my story if it would ease your pain in anyway, so let me know if you do.
I can’t wait to see the grand plan He has for you.
Remember: There is never a majestic mountain without a deep valley, and there is no birth without pain - Daniel Crawford.

I was so sad to see you go, you were the one we were waiting to see in each show because we knew you could do no wrong!
I really really hope you come back next season! Then we could say that the good that came out of all this is that we saw you dance even more than if you just participated in this season.
Good luck to you!

Alex, you are such an inspiration not only to me but to everyone around the world. Thank you sooo much for blessing us with your presence on SYTYCD. You are such an amazing dancer and I honestly think you brought the increased the calibre of SYTYCD by 150%. Thank you for representing Canada, ballet and dance and for sharing your gift with the world. I hope your surgery went well and I wish you a speedy recovery. So keep smiling and keep dancing! God Bless -Stephanie

From Buenos Aires, I want to join the legion of people wishing you to get well soon. Your last tweet sounded like a bird in despair after realizing it was caught in what seems to be a tiny cage. It seems but it isn’t. Allow yourself to think of that cast not as a prison but as a cocoon that surely will open in time to reveal the treasure now guarded. Soon, it will, and you’ll continue to dazzle us with your amazing talent, with an art seasoned -not diminished- by this unfortunate experience.
All the best. Alejandro.

heather
Alex,
I really appreciate that you tried out for and decided to compete on SYTYCD. I know that it was risk for such an amazing dancer who had a career.
Growing up I never got to see any dance except on PBS, but that little bit made me love it. We didn’t have the money for me to take any classes. So I’ve had to just enjoy watching it where I could and have been thankful for shows like this and youtube.
From the second you auditioned you were (and are) the most amazing dancer I’ve seen and made me really want to see a ballet.
You helped show me something I hadn’t seen before (as the show has done with other dance styles) and it has been a joy to experience.
I will be praying for your recovery to be quick and easy and that we’ll see you dancing again soon.
Jul 16, 2010 @ 05:03
Karen MEG
Alex, we (my family and I, another middle aged mother with two kids who are totally addicted to you on SYTYCD) have been following your journey and wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. You have brought so much to the world of dance (and I cannot believe that you are so accomplished at 23!!!), and made Canada (and Asian Canadians) so very proud. All the best to you!

Hi Alex,
i heard the surgery went well.
Wishing you much speedy recovery.
Here’s what i felt when I heard what happenned to your AT..
http://lissabombie.blogspot.com/2010/07/why.html
You’ve been my one and only reason to pester my housemate to find the latest episode of sytycd.
My jaw and my heart dropped when I saw ur dance with Allison
It’s totally a new high level of dance standard I could have never even imagine it exist
Even though judges were not impressed by the jazz, I was still amazed by your footwork that’s always perfect
And though the journey has to end in such painful way, I am glad that it ended with the climax of your Twilex hip hop… Something that …..If i had not seen that routine myself.. was so scarred that you will not pull through
but as we all know now: you NAILED it!!!!
My heart hurt and cries with you…it’s painfull…
But I hope this much love that’s been showering in your life could work as pain killer
Jul 18, 2010 @ 17:47
bombie
To add to my earlier comment that’s posted before I finish typing
Lastly just wanna tell you
u’ve got urself a devoted supporter here that loves you & will follow on your updates on facebook and twitter ( i will create an account only for thia purpose as you’re worth it ), till you come to the next season.. And even after all that ends, when u stand on your own solo career.
In my heart.. You’re a winner
I love you Alex, thank you for being an inspirational phenomenal awesome amazing dancer
much love & blessings

Hey Alex, i just wanted to wish you a fast recovery so that you can get back to dancing, cuz you are a blessing to watch!
You were the only one that kept me watching SYTYCD this season, and i cried! literally when you had to leave. After that, i just stopped watching. But i would definitely look forward to next season when you come back

Alex..I just wanna say that you are truly a role model and inspiration for me, and I’ve been waiting for you to come back since SYTYCD season 5..and when I finally see you in this season, nothing could describe how I’m longing for your dance and your personality that make me feel so blessed!
I hope and praying for your recovery.

Hi Alex. The episode of u going home was to day here in Norway, and it really breaks my heart that I’m not able to see you anymore on the show. Anyways I will always cheer for u, where ever you are and where ever you go! I really really loved to see you dancing, and now you have given me the exuse to use twitter again! Don’t give up on your dream! Gambatte! <- good luck in japanese Haha <3

Hey, Alex! Hope you read this comment.
Let me just be the millionth person to tell you that your hip hop with Twitch was absolutely amazing! I’ve watched it over and over again, and it still blows my mind. How did you do that?!
My heart was breaking for you when they announced your injury and the following elimination. (We’re two weeks behind on the show here in Norway, so I just watched those episodes this past Friday and Saturday.) But I was really impressed by the way you handled the whole situation; with a smile and a grateful attitude.
You are an extremely gifted dancer, who also came across as a very genuine, funny, hard working and down-to-earth guy; a total sweetheart! I know you’re gonna bounce back from this, and have a really bright future.
Wish you all the best in your recovery. If you ever wanna swing by Norway, I’ll be happy to show you around.
I have a Canadian friend who’s convinced that I’m a closeted Canadian. I think she’s right, haha.

Laure
Hey Alex,
I’ve been a big french fan of SYTYCD for years now, and I have to say, you are my favorite dancer on this show since the beginning of it. I think I’ve never been so excited to see someone perform that I was each time you danced on the show. You are THE dancer, for me, and seem to be a wonderful person as well. As a former dancer, I was heartbroken by your injury, as I know how it feels when your body turns on you at the worst possible time.
Wishing you the speediest and completest (I know that’s not a word) recovery, you are in my prayers and my thoughts. You’ll always have a home in Paris if you ever need one.

Dear Alex:
Once is a great while, a cultural phenom occurs- and it’s you. This Summer, you completely took over SYTYCD - your personality, your looks, your skills….all combined to make the show - for me and so many others - a compelling “must watch” show - but you’ll bounce back. You’ll heal, you’ll move forward, and you’ll make a difference. I believe in you. And thank you for giving me a reason to - for the first time in years - truly enjoy seeing beautiful dance. I wish you well, and please keep in touch with us.

Alex:
My daughter Melanie got me hooked on SYTYCD last year, and I loved Season 6 so much that I didn’t think that I would enjoy the next season as much. I was completely proved wrong the second that I watched you dance. Alex….your energy, your passion, your spirit, your incredible talent captivated me beyond words. Driven to tears by your performance with Alison, I didn’t think you could top that until I saw the infamous hip hop with Twitch. I have your performances on my Ipod and watch them whenever I can. We have every SYTYCD DVR saved and, although I was extremely attached to Kent, Lauren, and Billy(and Pasha’s abs)….every week after your injury I would whimper that I missed Alex. I cannot WAIT to see you next season. Alex, you’re so inspiring and engaging and just plain awesome! Can I dance? Yes, in my chair and when no one is there to critique me. Can you dance? Sigh. Alex….what you do on that stage transcends dancing. It’s art. It’s beauty. It’s an indescribable experience to watch what you create. Thank you, for so many reasons, and in so many ways.
Jeez, Trace…fawn much? Yup. Today I shall fawn. Thank you again.

My wife and I love the show, but I have to say you were hands down the best dancer they’ve ever seen. That hip hop number with Twitch was sick! Continued success, Alex!

Hi Alex..
I am a big fan. Here in India, SYTYCD 7 just started airing last month. I couldn’t help but cry watching you leave the show(let me tell you, there’s not much that makes me cry). I really really hope I’ll see you again on tv. Please come back on season 8….
PS: Your hip-hop routine with Twitch was OUT OF THE WORLD!! LOVE YOU!!!

Just to let you know that I, and I suspect many others who were inspired by your performances, are still thinking of you. I hope you recover soon.
