Hard to believe none of the judges knew who he was, and he didn't mention his BETM experience.



Here's a link to SYTYCD's facebook page. You can find a video of Lex's performance on last night's show here:

Orange County residents may have seen a familiar face on Monday night’s episode of Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” Lex Ishimoto, 19, of Irvine was the last dancer featured on the broadcast that wrapped up the audition round of the competition.

Interesting that the Dance School Diaries video producer is Nigel Lythgoe, yet he purports not to know who Lex is. :?

Lex has been chosen as one of the top ten.

I just watched his live performance with his all-star, Gaby. They did an elegant tap routine a la Fred and Ginger, and Lex did a wonderful job. Well done Lex!

When it shows up online, I will post a link .

Lex Ishimoto, a 19-year-old from Irvine, could be named “America’s Favorite Dancer” if maintains his momentum on FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” Last Monday, he was awarded a spot in the Top 10 during the first live broadcast of the 14th season — a childhood dream come true.

Lex has really become an amazing dancer. I'm sure his Billy training had a lot to do with his versatility.
