Landon managed to get quite a bit of camera time. He appears in the Day 4 video at 1:36-1:40, and in Day 5 spray painted in bronze at 1:07-1:18.

Not sure if you were referring to the young man doing the pirouettes in the Day 4 video, but I believe that's a different dancer besides Landon.

Landon is briefly shown on Day 5 at 0.46-0.48 and again at 1.16-1.18 (the bronze guy).

Chris also stated that was Landon on Day 4 from 1:36-1:40. I noted the impressive spins, but I didn't realize it was Landon. It didn't really look like him to me. The hair seems black instead of Landon's lighter color.

Perhaps it is the lighting - or he darkened it - but it looks like Landon to me.

He has just posted a photo of himself and his former Billy castmate, Lex Ishimoto:

I can't be 100% sure it is Landon in the Day 4 video. The darker hair could easily be from the poor lighting in the room where they are warming up. Mainly I was looking at the eyes, chin, and facial expression. Even after watching the Day 3 and 4 ones side by side several times it is hard to tell for certain but it sure looks close.

I guess the best thing to say is that it might be Landon at that point in the video. I was looking at Day #5 and stopping frames to try to identify Cesar and Lex when I saw dancers who sort of looked like them, but in the end, I concluded they weren't in the video.

Cool review of the gala that followed this year's finals. Giuseppe performed, and if you look at the photo of the stage filled with dancers, I think I spot him, but click the pic and look for yourself. My guess in small type below.

I think that may be him front and center crouched down.
