Alex Wong, age 22, is a rising star in the Miami City Ballet and is recognized for his speed, flexibility and precision. Alex joined its corps in 2005 and was promoted to soloist in 2007. Recently, he was named a principal soloist. Oddly enough, ballet was not Alex's first love. He was crazy about jazz and tap, but hated ballet class. It only took him a year and a half, at the age of eight, to realize what ballet was all about.
Alex studied at Goh Ballet Academy and danced with American Ballet Theatre's junior company. In 2004, he won the Prix de Lausanne competition. He has made a great impact in the ballet world, however, when he isn't dancing he loves singing Broadway and R&B songs.
