[kaileelovesdance]

[raccoonxeyesxx]

This man defies gravity. O_O

[GiovanniMariaTommaso]

The energy put forth in this dance is phenomenal and very well done; the difficult and sophisticated movements are filled with natural grace and beautiful dexterity and nimbleness. This piece truly tests and rivets the heart and imagination of the viewer. Kudos! The music captures the beat and the feel of the jungle in all of its intriguing deftness and mysterious sounds.

[cooliokel]

[karimaluvsyou95]

Ever look at someone and like truly think they are perfect at what they do. Because he was made to dance and is actually perfect.

he is perfection.

[cougarbubbleyum]

he's so skinny when he was younger woah he's from edmonton go alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AmericanGirIDolls]

@cougarbubbleyum I thought he was from Vancouver lol....

[cougarbubbleyum]

@AmericanGirIDolls well i searched up so you think you can dance on google and it took me to fox.com and on the website they have all the dancers of season 7 and they asked each dancer to do a questionnaire, so that's where i found out about alex. But he did live in vancouver, he was just born in edmonton.

[AmericanGirIDolls]

@cougarbubbleyum Oh okay... but he lives in Miami now.

[cougarbubbleyum]

@AmericanGirIDolls yea i'm pretty sure, i can't wait to see him again next year on the show, it's going to be awesome!

[cougarbubbleyum]

@AmericanGirIDolls yeah he lives in miami i'm pretty sure and he's part of the miami city ballet

[symoneraene]

[kittykatlover413]

My god... He gained a shitload of muscle in a matter of 4 fucking years hahaha

[kcrozby2]

That was pretty amazing! He has such grace. I wonder if he practices martial arts, because that too, would be a sight to see with his fluidity.

[gotmia39]

omg this is all barefoot

gasp*

[HubbardKL]

Brilliant. He is absolutley amazing and a pure joy to watch!

[zjet100]

not crazy bout the spandex hes wearin and not a big fan of ballet either BUT that was actually really good

[Blackjack185]

He's beyond amazing! <3

[baileyrina13]

leopard briefs.. capture of the tiger? two different animals. but amazing nonetheless

[xthamelzx]

LOL.

[kovu93]

so is this song called Capture of the tiger? where can i download it?

[DrawLove]

that was beautiful. Alex I want to have your babies!!!!

[jazeroo888]

Greetings from Port Moody, BC.

My 5 year old daughter had me replay this about 4 times. She loves to dance with her eyes closed & does moves on her own that I'm not sure where she picked up.

She's inspired by you & is wanting to watch more videos of you. So, take the time to heal up physically, emotionally, & mentally, and get back on that horse & ride even better. There' are valuable lessons to be learned through your ordeal right now...... just as you would have if you remained in SYTYCD.

[Alfalfa727]

Alex put up the video of your Le Corsaire solo!

[timecharmsyou]

what year of prix de lausanne was this??

[Alfalfa727]

@timecharmsyou 2004

[eekeey]

I knew i saw this before - he did this on sytycd season 5 during vegas week. wish he wore the leopard print briefs then. :P that was when i first saw how AWESOME alex is. i'm so glad he came back to SYTYCD. Fell in love with him even more.

[SkwakbirdGirl]

oh. my. god. amazing dance.

[elementwisp13]

Not many people could pull off that outfit XD But he did it :P

[gottadancemji]

WOW

absolutely amazing!

[TheOfficialAnnaHo]

this was the first SYTYCD solo he did :)

loveee! lines are AMAZING!

[CookieFridays]

The outfit is uncomfortable to look at, but he is amazing! I too am rooting for him to win this season.

[skeeterart]

Uh. He's been soooo good for soooo long.

[JabariBraham]

This solo is just stunning, his lines are 2nd to none and really liked the characterisation in the peice!

[EscargoTouChaud]

@JabariBraham yes! very feline.

[aaronhoodrich]

Was that Harry Potter at the end?

[991ashboo]

alex is my inspiration as a dancerr! (:

[z858978]

i love him now but i think this is back when he wasnt so good. the lines are not that good

[22Kristina23]

when was this? He looks so young! He defenitely build up some muscle in past years!

[SilverInsanity]

@22Kristina23 He was 17, I think. It was at the Prix de Lausanne, which is one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world, in my opinion. :)

[Excodisal]

Wow! Awesome!

[fh8510]

That was amazing dance!

[TheMrsnozuka]

I love watching him dance! He is the greatest on sytycd!

[omarieswifey]

what a great dancer

[bball234100]

he is my inspiration i wish i could dance like him and be on sytycd

[marin986]

crazy :)

[sundiatah]

That was good, but well there was something somewhat "disappointing" about it. The dance moves he chose made him look too much like a female professional gymnast in the Olympics (you remember svetlana Korkina ,boginskaya , etc....), rather than like a strong male dancer (which I believe he is)

[LeePThao]

@sundiatah I think you are being superficial saying that his moves make him look like a female. Dance has no gender. In fact I bet that if a girl were to preform this dance, you would be able to see that there is a clear difference. I think that you are just limiting your view of a male dancer to some big build body guy, which Alex does not have in his video. In fact I will bet that is some big build guy were to do these exact move you would think otherwise.

[thofilena]

I saw you in SYTYCD just recently and immediately looked for you on YT. You have now officially become my favourite dancer. Awesome moves, and I can see your heart in them.

[whereisheaven]

So good! There is nothing he cannot do.

[patylovespaty]

I L O V E Him. he is my role model i love him.

[TheRoyalKnight]

lol so gay

[bball234100]

@TheRoyalKnight well why dont you do it if u think it is so gay ... trust me it is challenging and difficult.... and no it isnt gay, this is real dance not those breakdancers and shit

[abrazadodude]

@TheRoyalKnight

Yes ballet has been pinned as femenine but most adult male ballet dancers are as fit as boxers. Most are ripped with muscles and can kick the ass of a few straight men.

[misha231]

Stunning!!!

[Zikitify]

Wow! I'd love to see him dance this now - all grown up.

[forquan]

Amazing dancer!

[makeupisgreat1]

How well did you place?

[ags012]

Since this performance, Alex has certainly gotten buffer!

[khaccu]

We're cheering for him!

[blackberrypatch]

AMAZING!!! I'm cheering for you!!

[juicysaucy]

The news is out. Alex is in the final!!!!!!

[BayAreagurl2]

I am so happy you are trying out for SYTYCD again!!! I literally lost my sh*t when I saw you on tonight.

[tubefunny]

I just saw Alex Wong on SYTYCD tonight I think!? Amazing Dancer!!!!

[BeautifulRX]

he was fucking amazing

[bolshoiboy8]

oh my god... wow this is REALLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY good i assume u won the medaille d'oir. there couldnt have been someone with more professional maturity.  u look like a pro.

[Directem]

omg

[giodandis]

Does anyone know what the name of the song is?

[xIloveRandom]

that is amazing

[iFNlovekidcudi]

wow its the same thing as his audition.. still AWESOME!

[cswanny08]

what is that kick jump at 1:22 called?????

[rekupp]

360

[DancinFeet1994]

@cswanny08 That my friend, is a 540.. The hardest trick in martial arts AND ballet

[danzerstar53]

wow, amazing alex! i hope you're having great success in what you're doing. it's a shame that you couldn't compete on sytycd s5 but hopefully america will see you again soon! all the best to you, you're just incredible.

[Mikegengsta]

jeez he got rlly buff since then

[timetoflytothecheese]

Aww he was soo young!!!

[Aroma2]

He's a very strong, masculine dancer.He forces you to pay attention.

[SpotlessBanana]

So true

[sami8877]

somebody knows what the name of this song?????

[ballet4life94]

This is serious SKILL!!! AWESOME!

[balanchinesmuse91]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrIranzamin]

Kir to kose Khamanei

[rosieh2]

WOW!!!!!!! No words can describe how awesome this is.

[dodger2k11]

wtf?

[Sambucca]

Awesome dance, but Alex....leopard print briefs????

[NoirFan01]

Guess the store was out of tiger print ones.

[NoirFan01]

@Sambucca Good point. I guess no tiger stripe leotards were available.

[forloveofeurope]

@Sambucca - oh for crying out loud - it's a CAPTURE OF THE TIGER!!!, what do you want? a cow print? speedos?

[peacegirllover]

@Sambucca i dont think anyone wants to hear it, this dance is for intlectual people who understand what its about, go away you disgust me with your ignorance and insensitivity, by the way that is horribly offensive

[Sambucca]

@peacegirllover

Oh jeezus, grow a back bone you snivelling PC provider. The outfit is flamingly gay. FACT.  Deal with it.

[peacegirllover]

@Sambucca you know what youre right, i should be more agressive. You are a fucking asshole who has no common sense you're probably a racist dick who sits in his basement cursing all the people that are'nt him. YOU ARE STUPID, i think you should also learn what a fact is. It makes you look stupid, thannxxx !!

[Sambucca]

@peacegirllover

"Probably a racist"? How did you deduce that you stupid cunt? When did I even mention his race? When did I ever say he wasn't talented? I didn't. All I said was the outfit was as gay as a tea party with Elton John, as anyone else here can see. So shut up and stop moralizing you fucking hippy.

[peacegirllover]

@Sambucca shutup seriously u sound like an idiot

[peacegirllover]

@Sambucca omg just stop talking!!! its so boring!

[therandjshow1818]

@Sambucca i was just about to say its capture the tiger so y the leopard pring short shorts

[justgilbert]

@Sambucca capture of the TIGER!

[symoneraene]

@Sambucca lol - thought the same DWL - but I guess getting into the 'spirit' of the thing...

[diiggas]

I remember seeing this in 2004 when it was broadcasted here in Europe live in Mezzo Channel and I never forgot it.

Very impressive. Great!

[weyore54]

omg he was so amazing i loved it

[newenergy2010]

he would have been one hell of a force on sytycd. i don't know if he would have won, however.

[totallygothboy]

omg he would have murdered all the other dancers on sytycd... i hope he auditions again. this was utterly amazing... and inspiring.

[theJimBug]

@totallygothboy omg I know right Im so glad that he is on this year again he is the only reason Im watching really lol

[therandjshow1818]

@totallygothboy i think he already said he will but if he doesnt i will never watch again unless an amazing hot guy that does ballett gets to dance with twitch with hip hop and gets the same coreographer XD

[KiKiMcLaren]

I think every dancer on the show right now are SO gald you under cotract with the Miami City Ballet cuz they would NOT have stood a chance against you!

[xxbreakherheart]

he's amazing.

[shutupimhungry]

i was so mad when he could'nt go on. i hope he comes back next year.

[canectar]

Thank You Alex for the Pleasure to see such an artist as you. You Bring Style, Grace and power to your dance it shows you dance from the heart and soul.. I can only remember of when I was younger and used to dance but to be honest NEVER could I have come close to you.. Thank YOU and please keep performing I hope to see you In San Diego CA sometime.. Wish you all the best in LIFE!

[pendragoney]

wow... and here he's only, what, 19?

[rekupp]

18.

[makemudpies]

Amazing!!! I'm so proud of you particularly because I am Asian American also. Not trying to be exclusive by race, but when I saw you dance so beautifully on SYTYCD (where I first saw you, and I'm sure many others), I was just rooting for you all the way. Amazing talent like you is what opens the doors for other Asn. Am. artists. Thank you for your brilliant work!

[shengzhangjohnson]

he's Asian Canadian...

[ultacatlover]

omg!!!! u are amazing!!! wait a minute..... did i see u in the sytycd auditions in US??

[michellee806]

man, this guy's amazing!

unbelievable!

[rekupp]

:25 makes me gag

[peasncarrots001]

This got me wondering. Do choreographers "own" their own choreography? Like intellectual property or something? Would he have been able to do this solo on the show without her permission, or would the show have to pay her some royalties? Anybody have any idea how it works?

[shengzhangjohnson]

I saw a report at new york time

yes, choreographers can legally patent their work!

[rekupp]

It all depends, there is the Balanchine Trust.

[StewNWT]

Good questions - I was wondering something similar when on SYTYCD Canada a couple was given the EXACT same hip hop routine as Kherington and Twitch from earlier that summer on the US Show (the jailbreak routine). Albeit, it was the same choreographer, but as a viewer I felt hella cheated - I mean anyone watching the show here in Canada would have recognized it as copied as we all watch the US show.
