Lex appears in this 10 minute video "The Ultimate Amazing Most Bestest Best Dancer Of All Time Competition" featuring many Best Dancers from The Dance Awards in 2014. Julian Elia is also credited as a winner, but does not appear in the video.

Lex didn't appear at all. This was just junior female dancers. Are you sure you linked the correct video?

Here's Lex's performance from last night. It's not part of this video, but both the audience and the judges gave him a standing ovation at the end. In the rehearsal segment beforehand (also not on youtube), he mentions having toured with BETM.

Yes. Watch it starting at 5:09; Lex is house-right wearing grey shirt with a white horizontal strip and a black pocket.

The first partner performance out of the gate on SYTYCD last night was Lex and Gaby doing this hip hop routine:

Lex's solo performance included a triple tour en l'air that got a mention from Nigel later in the show:

And finally, a trio performance with two other contestants:
