Outta Your Mind = Ballet dancer??

We all make assumptions without taking the time to look at the truth or the facts. Lets face it, thats human. Dancers recieve many assumptions along with rude critiques, and opinions. But, we dance because we love it. Opinions that are ment for bringing us down only makes us want to strive and work harder. Everywhere we go, and everything we do involves false assumptions. Which I have never understood, because people always want to be right...am I correct? So why do we always have to jump to conclusions. We know their will always be that person that does something that is so amazing, its just like a slap across the face. The biggest assumption people make is since ballet dancers are proper and graceful, they can't drop it down low and be legit hip hop dancers. There was an uproar when Alex Wong showed his best on the "So You Think You Can Dance" stage.

Alex Wong got the amazing challenge of doing a NappyTabs piece with Twitch. Alex Wong has been a professional ballet dancer for Miami Ballet. Alex is the best dancer that have yet to see on "So You Think You Can Dance" and will definitely win next season. He is a highly respected dancer and has moved the judges to tears several times. Alex has won the respect from every dancer that watched his breath taking performances. But, when he pulled hip hop out of the hat, people didn't believe he could pull it off. Instead he left everyone speechless, and all anyone could do was stand and cheer for him in the end. He stood out while Twitch began to fade. Alex left all passion, all heart, on the dance floor. He was doing what he loved, reached for the stars, and sent a meteor crashing down on the stage. Alex Wong literally got "outta his mind" and let it all go. He just danced.

Not only does Alex Wong bring people to tears when he's in his forte. He brings roars to the studio when he breaks loose and does some MAJOR hip hop. This routine will be remembered for a long time as the best hip hop dance on the show. Here a professional ballet dancer creams a hip hop dance and proves to people that Ballet Dancers are DOPE. There are so many things that can be proved wrong. People don't need to make assumptions anymore because most of the time they will be wrong. And might even get slapped across the face by Alex Wong. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.
