Alex Wong!

SYTYCD's present season with 11 competitors starting to vie for top spot today brought us the remarkable ballet dancer Alex Wong (who I first saw dance 10 years ago) in a piece so artfully choreographed and performed it brought tears to everyone's eyes at the competition, and mine, at home. I was almost sobbing, it so touched my heart.

I knew Alex was incredible - that was already evident 10 years ago - but this, THIS dance clinched it for me.

Woe to Alexie who had to follow Alex's unbeatable WOW! performance. If her stagework had had any pizzazz at all, she would have come off okay, but her dance and effort were a big formulaic ho-hum, both in choreography and characterization.
