ALEX WONG AND TWITCH HIP HOP (WITH JUDGES COMMENTS)

[@alyxseel]

Im here to say to this day, this dance lives in my head rent free….ever since it premiered I think about this dance at least once every few months 👍🏼 absolutely iconic

[@DevOpsNerd]

Alex "Friggin" Wong will live forever

[@jamilabates7425]

Me too!!!! It’s my absolute favorite

[@amyleland4250]

This dance could CHARGE me admission to appear in my head, and I'd happily pay it, every single time. I am back today to watch it because of incredibly sad news. And I find myself realizing that tWitch is STILL bringing me joy. ❤

[@tlc4528]

YES! I just made a comment like this on the Ellen and Twitch version. That's the one that cemented it in my head so I think about it at the most random times.

[@joeylombardo9000]

Still to this day

[@tamtam2000]

Still amazed at this routine and their performances to this day. I have just heard of tWitch's death and coming to watch this was my first priority. An absolute legend of a man and a dancer. You will be missed, tWitch.

[@katiegomes964]

This dance has given me so much joy over the years, from the moment I first saw it on SYTYCD. RIP tWitch. 😞

[@rowanaforrest9792]

I have too many favorite dances from SYTYCD to keep count of, but THIS dance is at least in my top 5 (of a rather long list). I LOVE IT!

[@lemonade8846]

10 years later, I’m still as amazed as the first time I watched this! Hands down, one of the best routines that came out of SYTYCD. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@DodderingOldMan]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOWTHEHELLHASITNOWBEEN12YEARSAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@stepitup25]

I think of this dance from time to time, but especially now that Twitch is gone. It’s always been one of my favorite dance routines ever. Alex and Twitch were perfection.

[@jenniferdanise2478]

Twelve years ago, i watched this and so upset Alex got injured and disqualified from the show. I still come back to watch this sometimes and still the best hip-hop routine i've ever watched. Yesterday i heard that tWitch has passed away and i will never saw a new routine from one of the most talented dancer ever again. Rest in Peace, tWitch

[@ixxieangel]

This is still one of my all time favorite routines for the entire shows run... Hats off to Alex and Twitch!! Love you guys!!

[@DefyingZero]

Gotta also love Ellens tribute to this dance. Not the whole dance but worth the show to Alex. Man I love dancing! ^____^

[@barismomalways]

Ixxie Saylors, I completely agree with you!!!! I can watch it over & over and a huge smile comes to my face! Twitch and Alex ROCK!!!

[@noorarana6509]

same here tho!

[@sarahcline8488]

He was so freaking awesome

[@Chewbecca101]

This routine is genius. Twitch is so good, but Alex pulling this off makes him the greatest dancer of the show, all seasons combined.

[@celestemergenshere]

Twitch will be so dearly missed. This was one of my favorite SYTYCD moments of all time.

[@purepoison618]

I came looking specifically, for this dance routine today - Twitch and Alex Wong dancing this, was truly one of the most memorable duo’s, I seen on sytycd. I watch it, while tears fall down my cheeks my heart is so heavy and sad, because one of this special duo, is no longer with us. Heaven has gained a ‘Boss’ and I wish for Twitch to forever dance between the sparkling stars, in the sky. Condolences to his loving wife and three amazing children. Rest In Peace, Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss. Heaven’s gain surely is our loss 💔

[@redcrabsc1149]

Beautiful...amen.

[@bcoulter1313]

Coming back to this dance because this was my FAVORITE one on this show, ever. RIP Twitch 😭

[@DearPrudence123]

With Twitch's passing today, this was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news. Had to come here to watch it a few times. To me, this is, by far, the best and most iconic dance of all seasons of SYTYCD. And Alex was THE best dancer, no DOUBT he would've won if he hadn't gotten hurt. RIP Stephen "Twitch" Boss, your talent will surely be missed.

[@germainehenderson8070]

This combo - these two talents - mind-blowing! I've never forgotten it and come back to watch it every now and then. Rest in peace Twitch. So sorry you couldn't see past the clouds. So sorry no one could rescue you from your pain. Prayers to the family he left behind.

[@MairJfan1]

I remember watching this live and having the same reaction that the studio audience and judges had! Still the most surprising and excellent hip hop routine in the show's history.

[@LRenee86]

Oh no . . . I am in SYTYCD land, I am going to be up for a long time

[@princessliuz916]

LRenee86 omg im not the only one

[@byLizee]

LRenee86 this is me right now lmfao

[@jeanettegallagher9916]

LRenee86 SAME

[@chrisb3449]

One of the best dances. RIP tWITCH. Came here to watch after I heard about his death. The world lost a dance legend. So very sad

[@vivaldi1948]

RIP Twitch. You and Alex were my favorite dancers on the show.

[@astridtremblant4817]

SYTYCD did a 10 year anniversary retrospective recently where they counted down a list of best routines ever and this was the #1 routine of all time. The Hummingbird routine was in there too (my 2nd fave next to this) as well as Hallelujia and the breast cancer tribute "Fix You."

[@samanthagerbrandt7543]

As it should be.

[@jasonmontoya4749]

Hummingbird routine yo.... best ever for me.

[@jessicacosentino1772]

Watching on this very sad day marking the news of the passing of Twitch. You were an inspiration to so many and your work on this dance and mentorship to Alex was just beyond!!! Dance on our friend!!! You are missed!!!

[@ronaele70]

It’s all so surreal…

[@mandymoody914]

This still remains one of the best hip hop routines I’ve ever seen, even to this day. RIP Twitch, you were truly one of a kind.

[@miker6570]

I remember watching this 5 years ago and thinking holy crap that was amazing. Fast forward 5 years and it is still amazing. Edit 12/15/22: RIP Twitch my intro to him was by this routine and after this point I became a fan of his. Also my condolences go to his family he was liked by many and had millions of fans. I will also add if there are any people watching this video and have contemplated committing suicide. There is help call 988 and get that help that you need.

[@MommaAle84]

Me too! My favorite and sooooo unexpected

[@miker6570]

I liked this one so much that I bought the single used for this off the play store.

[@fatimamek9494]

Fast forward another 4 years and it's still amazing.

[@amyoverton8737]

Literally I just heard the song on the radio and immediately had to pull this up and watch! Incredible!

[@stellarvgurl]

10 years later, this comment still stands

[@HiImSarahE]

Still a beautiful dance to this day. Ballet and hip-hop come together. Twitch will be missed.

[@77iluvharrypotter]

As a ballet/contemporary dancer, for most of my life I had been way too scared to try hip hop. I always thought that I wouldn't be able to do it. After watching this dance it showed me that ballet dancers can do hip hop so I tried a hip hop class. Now I am in the front line of a successful hip hop competition team. I love it and I'm so grateful for this dance and Alex Wong!

[@lizanderson1568]

By far, still the best dance ever performed on the show, possibly even the best on TV!! RIP Twitch!

[@StefWriter]

I know that this dance was supposed to showcase Alex, but we really need to acknowledge how much tWitch killed this too. He was part of the most iconic dance of this show's history and I can't think of anyone else having that honor. RIP tWitch. ❤

[@DullMarionette]

How many of you guys are still mad about Alex not winning after all these years?

[@hannahm.4508]

2019 still mad

[@piperb.5335]

I would be mad, but he hurt himself. It's not like they voted him out

[@sandrahiggins7497]

Really disappointed for him! He is amazing and I am sure he would have won!

[@lauraaaass5446]

I love Lauren, but yeah I'm so sad for him!

[@mattmondelli5332]

If he didn't get hurt, he would have won. He was the most well-rounded by far.

[@gunnisonguy]

This routine still gives me chills. Saw it when it was first on the show, and never forget it.

[@MzDrizzy30]

I remember this season like it was yesterday. Alex was my favorite from the audition. It broke my heart when he hurt his self Cuz he sure nuff was about to win

[@dannicarraway3046]

Twitch, I’ve watched you from So You Think You Can Dance since I was a little girl. I was awe inspired by you from the moment I laid my eyes on you. You were a light to me and the world. I wish things were different but you will always always be loved. 😢

[@samanthasexton596]

2019 and this is still by far the best hip hop routine ever on SYTYCD. Unforgettable!!

[@emerb5755]

So sad to hear the news today. I watch this clip every now and then so thanks for keeping it up on here. Much love and condolences to Alison and all Twitch’s family and friends. He brought a lot of joy to the world.

[@AnaTorres-ry6rr]

This dance was and still is iconic to this day. Sad tWitch is gone but his legend and dance will live forever 💔

[@marij1829]

One of my favorite dances and duos! RIP Twitch! Your talent and legacy lives on forever!

[@amying6899]

I my opinion this is the best sytycd dance

[@yothisislex]

I totally agree.

[@socalninjarider]

Alexis Shaw America agrees

[@rhonzcervantes4808]

Philippines agrees!

[@katherine56631]

Total eclipse of the heart by Melanie and Neil was in my opinion the best routine on the show but this one is a close second.

[@indranieharipersaud5010]

One of the best performances

[@misstekhead]

Love you Stephen aka Twitch. You inspired many of us who didn’t have the atypical classic, studio training to go for our passion in dance despite all of it anyway. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones at this moment. We’ll miss you Stephen. 🌸 ❤️

[@sheilaarnone6795]

I absolutely loved this routine with them. I saw it when they 1st performed it on SYTYCD! Gold

[@Godsgurlie]

One of my absolute favorite dances on So You Think You Can Dance. Rest in Power Twitch 😢

[@PyrielQuinn]

Still come back to watch this routine loved it iconic

[@MarineBo456]

I can watch this a million times and still get hype when Alex n Twitch get buck! To go from posture to the complete opposite... completely out of his element is a triumph on its own. I danced so much back in the day and I know the difference in adjusting your body to a different style. To go from perfection of one's normal pursuit to a completely different style which changes the control discipline to one style of dance is versatility at its best. Alex... The future of Dance!!!!

[@evagalos9275]

I am writing this post 7 days after Twitch left us on Dec 13, 2022. Twitches passing has left me with such sadness. I think about the children he leaves behind and the fact that they will grow up without their dad. Twitch was a brilliant dancer and had a heart of gold. I am thankful that all the videos of his dance routines will live on for his children to watch as they grow into adults.

[@XArc7AngelX]

I just found out the news about Twitch. I'm honestly devastated. He was one of my favorite dancers of all time, and this is one of my favorite routines. He will be missed. ❤️

[@vagabon5130]

Never gets old. I have great respect and awe for dancers of ANY discipline but this was superb. And the breaking into ballet was also a brilliant piece of choreography😂

[@annie23.]

After hearing the last devastating news about Twitch I came back to his performances in the show and just can't believe that he's gone... his legacy will stay with us forever

[@fuguettr]

if alex wong had not fractured his ankle would have won this season

[@ceciliamiller975]

Rebeca Virginia Fuguett Mendoza so right. The kid h\s tremendous talent is gracious and such a little Actor inthe making Definitely should have WON. Sorry for that year Winner, but True nonetheless.

[@Fullmetal1890P]

He didn't fracture his ankle, he snapped his Achilles tendon, twice. As soon as this one healed, he did the other leg too and right back into surgery he went.

[@thoughtsofadame1952]

God realized he made Alex too powerful and had to nerf him.

[@AW-ww3ee]

Season 7 had the most injuries

[@TennesseeGock]

Alex Wong & Twitch! Love this performance so much! 💖💖 So young! 🥺 The world is crying for such a talented artist gone to soon! 😭 RIP to Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss ✝️ and best wishes to his loved ones 🙏!

[@mrschrissworld]

This Was Freaking AMazing WOw I Still LOved THis Dance OMG R.L.P TWITCH FLY HIgh SIr YOU Were Brilliant Together Awesome

[@claudiakours6855]

This definitely was one of the best seasons! I am still having tears in my eyes watching this incredible routine, seeing what a fantastic dancer Alex is, and not having seen more of him! I was crying my eyes out when he had to quit the show because of an injury :/ and true Lauren and Twitch's routine was just as amazing. Hail to their fantastic choreographers!

[@mbrusk08]

Rest in power, Twitch. Been rewatching all the SYTYCD vids in tribute, ending of course with this one. He had amazing talent and passion, shining brightly through every routine. The dance world mourns today.

[@lillybet1]

This is one of my most favourite dances from all of So You Think You Can Dance. After hearing of Twitch's death, I had to come back and watch it again.

[@burcumihcioglu3671]

How many years it has been, and I am still enjoying this routine to the fullest! Don't think there is any other that I keep coming back to like about every year just to wow it all over again!! Thank you and thank you!

[@icefroyocream]

After watching this a million times, I just realized Tabitha said "I want it to be so WONG that it's right". 😂

[@yescer23]

I thought she had said so "Wall" because before that she said everything he had learned should go out the window. you know....."from the windows to the walls".

[@hollywoodshopaholic]

When I first saw this routine on KZbin I thought Alex came on the show as a hip-hop protegee or something... NEVER would have guessed he was trained in ballet. DAMNNNN Alex!!!!

[@juissegames3552]

Oh t’Witch. 😔 I just can’t stop crying since yesterday after learning about your passing. Oh hun I just wish you would have called someone. You were such a remarkable man. An amazing dancing. Truly someone special. This performance wi Alex Wong demonstrates just how special you are, were. 😢 You will be missed Sir DJ t’Witch Boss. You have your golden wings now and fly with the angels. May the Lord grant you the peace you were looking for. You are already missed, and I’m only a fan. Condolences and God Bless your you and your family. Rest now …. Rest in Heavenly Power. 🙏🏽

[@viancamercedes8150]

You just don’t know what people are going through. Is a reminder to check on your loved ones, even the strong ones. Also, sending light and strength to those struggling right now. Rest in Peace Twitch. You left an amazing legacy. Sending so much love and healing to his family family. 💔🙏🏽

[@thelmahouk4833]

October 2019 I will NEVER get tired of watching this

[@amber.cartomancer]

RIP Twitch. YAY Alex. Seems like I come back here every couple of years :)

[@travisflick8808]

This was one of my Twitch memories... rest in peace... if Alex hadn't broken his ankle I bet he would have won this season.

[@courtneycoronato]

Can't believe this was 12 years ago. Twitch was my favorite dancer of all the seasons on this show. Watching him brought so much joy into my life. His heart and kindness was everything. Watching this after his passing, I feel incredible sadness and the same awe I felt watching this like the first time. I'll always remember you Twitch. The joy and endless love you brought to others is something I aspire to do everyday. It's strange to feel grief for someone I did not know personally, but I know that his life, love, light and absolute brilliance impacted me and continues to do so deeply. Hope you're dancing in the clouds. You will be so missed.

[@gdhaney136]

I feel this one deeply too. I've known him since his first failed audition...but not personally, but he's had an impact on my person. I've had a hard time accepting this loss, which means those closest to him must be devastated beyond my comprehension. RIP Stephen.

[@egomaniac9]

this has to be my most favourite routine ever on sytycd. i love all the hiphop routines, its why i watch the show. with the likes of dragon house beating in on the comp, its no wonder the hiphop genre is strong. but to see a classicly trained ballet dancer do this is amazing. well done to all involved for making it happen and thank you. such goodness, ive watched it more than several times now

[@b.christensen9669]

Genius choreography! Great dancing, Alex! I miss Twitch.

[@fanie248]

It's the best routine ever on this show, all seasons. It's really amazing and incredible. WOW!!!! I love this.

[@-D-W]

Every time that I hear this song, I always find myself coming back to KZbin once again to re-watch Alex & Twitch perform this ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE dance routine! For myself, this performance will always be included in my Top 3 dance performances of ALL TIME!!!

[@PoohBear4554]

6 1/2 years later and it is still one of the best out there!!!! Absolutely love Alex and I know he would've won if he was able to finish the season.

[@loveliespencer5643]

2021 .. if you are still watching this master piece … you are a legend

[@PrettyWaffle]

damn, this hits even harder today. I rewatch this on the regular and now Twitch is gone. he was a good person, you just never know what's going on with someone on the inside. please seek help if you need it. #RIPTwitch 💔

[@plantwithroos]

This dance and these people will always be my heart. Rest in peace tWitch 💔

[@jenniferwynveen815]

My favorite dance. His dances will live on forever. This performance makes me smile. So sad that he is gone. ❤️❤️

[@ccie77]

This guy (tWitch) brought out the absolute best in a ballet dancer who, for all intents and purposes, should never have been able to dance like this!!! You were talented. You were amazing. You will be missed. RIP tWitch.

[@tinakover385]

This is how I will always remember tWitch. Powerful, joyous, in perfect control and yet free.

[@hoppylyss]

I cannot believe Twitch isn't with us anymore. I had to watch his performances. RIP to a kind soul.

[@smgv39]

This is my all-time favorite dance from Twitch. You are probably out-dancing the angels in heaven right now Twitch and you will be missed. RIP

[@debrap947]

When I first saw this routine it was hands down one of the most extraordinary dance routines I have ever seen in my life...today watching it again...makes it the best one I have ever seen knowing that Stephen "Twitch" Boss will never dance again. Rest in Peace Twitch.

[@HolmansinGhana]

We'll miss you tWitch. Your dancing is unparalleled and your smile has always lit up the room

[@psyrmc]

After 9 years, still one of my favourite SYTYCD episodes. Alex Wong is a national treasure 🌟

[@FriendlyneighborhoodC8]

RIP tWitch…this is the first dance I needed to watch after hearing the news. You did so much for humanity and the dance world. Going to miss you 😭❤️

[@meganknipe4393]

It’s 2022….still one of my favorites!

[@xrosyxposyx]

I love how Twitch purposely steps out of the spot light (literally) after the dance to let Alex get all the credit as if to say "Go ahead, this is all for you. All those cheers are yours" but then the spotlight guy/person/thing moves the light so that it's on Twitch and not Alex haha

[@lisahalbert4456]

I've followed Twitch since he was a contestant. I'm so devastated and at a loss for his family. Thanks to this show for sharing his brilliance with us, and then introducing Ellen to him. We will love you forever

[@AmyO0308]

I’ve probably watched this a hundred times and I am still amazed by this dance. Alex is incredibly gifted!

[@leacoppola2347]

here rewatching this after learning about twitch💔 rip legend, you will be missed dearly

[@mJOYb1]

One of the most memorable SYTYCD routines throughout the history of the show. It just hits a little differently now. RIP tWitch.

[@JuicyBeauty98]

im not even kidding i have this saved as a bookmark on my computer i watch it weekly im obseessed i love twitch and alex together and seperratly this inspires me to know anythign is possible

[@marlizewilbe54yay78]

I will forever remember this as one of my favorite dances from twitch. You will be missed so much.

[@scarletti]

I never ever ever get tired of watching this routine. Alex and Twitch, y'all are spectaular and BUCK and fantastic. I really can't handle how awesome you are in this routine. One of my favorite SYTYCD routines of all time!

[@JustGettinBy1321]

One of my all-time favorite routines. Rest easy, tWitch. You are loved & missed.

[@piggyfiggy2167]

I was literally 6 when i watched this and i still come back to watch it bec it was so good that i remembered it. I come back literally every month.

[@Anastasia12344]

RIP darling human. You were an epic and a beautiful soul. Rest in peace.

[@t.warner7606]

The years about to be 2021 and this is still one of the best choreographies EVERRR !

[@jamesbrown-xc8cv]

best performance i have ever seen in sytycd history. No one will ever beat it.

[@susanfgarong7037]

Here I am in 2024, and I happen to run across a recent video short of Alex Wong. Nostalgia had me revisit this number, which remains in my heart, one of my all-time favorite dance duets with my man Twitch, and Alex Wong!

[@Faithspective]

Alex turned that dance out!! He killed it, he murdered it, he damn near massacred it!!! I'm just sorry he didn't get to finish the competition. Nigel is so right, this was about him stepping outside of his comfort zone and Twitch and the other choreographer helped him do just that. BRAVO!

[@elizaethforeman249]

This is one of my all time favorites, twitch/Alex , Alex almost out danced twitch , that hard for me to say for he’s my favorite dancer/ Al star Rest In Peace twitch we love you and you will be so missed, but you both were brilliant in this dance🙏

[@arby7276]

This is the SYTHCD dance that I have always remembered!

[@Kelleyp]

Have rewatched this several times today since seeing it originally. All I can see is that--tWich, I wish you felt 1/2 of the joy on the inside that you gave to so many millions of people from your work. You shined. I hate that we lost you, but --your life here MATTERED. Fly free, brother. 🦅

[@sidneychilds468]

It sucks that Alex got injured. He honestly could have won that season.

[@randyellis6370]

I remember seeing this the night it aired. I was so sad that Alex got hurt and couldn't continue. Then they bring Ellen in and it was still awesome. now...all these years later...its still so beautiful. tWITCH, I'm so sorry you were hurting like that, I know so many people are going to miss you. Rest in peace!

[@sarahgoodson2323]

RIP tWitch, Today the world is a little less bright as we long a star. You were so loved, prayers to your family.

[@missbruingal]

Still one of the BEST routines across the entire SYTYCD series. I will never, ever get tired of watching it. So fun!!

[@kungfuy0]

2018... and still one of my favorites!!!

[@breep]

I’ll never tire of watching this.
