Bummer

Two weeks ago, I was again amazed by Alex Wong on So You Think You Can Dance. Keep in mind that he is a classically trained ballet dancer and he pulled Hip Hop out of the hat. Ballet is so precise and formal; Hip Hop is so loose and grounded. I had a bad feeling that he wouldn't be able to pull it off. Imagine my sheer amazement when he blew it out of the park. Oh my gosh, he was so great! I don't know why I ever doubted him. He is the most amazing dancer I've ever seen. I'm not exaggerating.

Then last week...

he injured himself and had to leave the competition. What? No! I waited a whole year to see him dance and he moved me every time I saw him perform. I couldn't wait to see what he'd do week after week. And now it's over. I don't even care about anyone else. Sure, others can dance and different performers have their moments but he was pretty spectacular every time he got on that stage.

They have invited him back for next year but I don't know that he will do the show again. I may never get to see him dance again. What a bummer.
