Alex Wong

Picture
Alex Wong was born in Canada and began training in tap and jazz traning at the age of seven. Soon after, he began to study ballet with the Goh Ballet Academy in Vancouver, Canada. In 2000, Alex won two Junior World Titles in Tap and Showdance. In 2003, he was awarded the Royal Academy of Dancing Solo Seal, the Audience Choice Award and was a Bronze Medallist in the 2003 Genee International Ballet Competition. And in 2004, he became the first Canadian to win the Prix de Lausanne Apprentice Scholarship, and later that year joined the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company. In 2005, Alex danced briefly with American Ballet Theatre before joining Miami City Ballet where he danced with our own Ballet Mistress Deanna Seay. In early 2007, Alex was promoted to the rank of soloist at MCB.

Alex's repertoire of leading roles include Balanchine's Symphony In Three Movements, Agon, Western Symphony, The Nutcracker, Twyla Tharp's Push Comes to Shove, In the Upper Room, The Golden Section, Mark Morris' Silhouettes, Edward Villela's Don Quxiote, Paul Taylor's Funny Papers, Bournonville's Conservatory, Stephen Mills' Hush, Anton Dolin's Variations for Four and La Fille Mal Gardee.

In 2009, Alex chose to audition for the FOX dance series, "So You Think You Can Dance." He was chosen as a finalist but withdrew due to contractual issues with the Miami City Ballet. He returned to audition for season 7 of SYTYCD where he once again was selected as a finalist.
