Alex Wong - So You Think You Can Dance

Hello Dahlings!!!

As some of you may already know, I am a huge, HUGE fan of So You Think You Can Dance. This is evident from the several blogs I posted about my favorite routines from the show. Summer is almost here, so that means Season 8 is right around the corner. I think it will premiere May 26th. I am so excited!=) But before we get excited for the next season, let's revisit Season 7 so you can understand why there's so much anticipation coming from me.

I was very heartbroken when Alex Wong had to leave the show due to an injury. When he did not perform during the Top 8 , I thought he was just going to be sidelined for that episode and was hoping that his MRI results would come out ok. Turns out his Achilles Tendon lacerated. That meant for him to have a surgery and rest for 3 months. I was so devastated!!!

Who wouldn't be? Alex was a front-runner in the competition (IMO). Plus he's really humble and grounded which would make anyone love this guy.

Skill+Character+Personality=A++++ Here's that hiphop routine he perfomed with Twitch and choreographed by Nappytabs, a week before the injury:

Mind you, Alex was a former principal soloist with the Miami City Ballet. So for him to dance so completely well outside of his element, as Alex said, speaks highly of him.

Alex definitely won a lot of fans because during the Finale show, somebody tried to recreate that Hiphop routine to pay tribute to him. Who else but Ellen Degeneres!

Are you hoping for Alex's return for Season 8? I am. =)

Smoldering you with hugs and kisses,
