Tune into So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 tonight. This season will have 11 finalists instead of 10. The Top 11 finalists are Alex Wong, Alexie Agdeppa, Billy Bell, Kent Boyd, Lauren Froderman, Ashley Galvan, Robert Roldan, Jose Ruiz, Cristina Santana, Melinda Sullivan, and Adechike Torbert. The competition begins Wednesday, June 16 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) when the Top 11 dance for the judges and America on the season’s first two-hour performance show. The finalists will work with their randomly selected All-Star partner (D-Trix from Quest Crew is one of them) and a world-renowned choreographer on a dance routine in the specialty genre of their partner. After each Wednesday performance show, the phone lines will open and the fate of the finalists – one of whom will be named America’s Favorite Dancer – will be left up to the voting fans. The finalists in the bottom three will perform solo routines with the hope of convincing the judges to keep them in the competition. The judges then decide which dancers remain and which one is eliminated. Here’s more about some of the Asian American dancers on the show:

Alex Wong is a former principal soloist with the Miami City Ballet. He was awarded his position with the ballet at age 17 after winning the prestigious “Prix de Lausanne” competition. Wong also sings and plays the piano. Originally from Alberta, Canada, he now resides in Miami, FL. He’s been dancing since 7 1/2. You may remember him from Season 5 of So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), but could not continue due to his work obligations. He quit his position as principal soloist for the Miami City Ballet to be on So You Think You Can Dance Season 7. The dance style he’s hoping to pick out of the hat is ballet. The style he’s most afraid of is hip hop and ballroom.
