Best Prop – SYTYCD Season 5 “EmMandy” Awards
In our ongoing series of choreography “EmMandy” Awards, here’s the award for “Best Prop” from So You Think You Can Dance season 5 (winner is in Bold). Take a look at the other SYTYCD Season 5 “EmMandy” Awards.
“Best Prop”
- “The Butt Dance”, Randi’s butt
- ‘Love Lockdown”, the chain
- “If it Kills Me”, the necklace
- “Send in the Clowns”, the toy box
- “Moses”, the feathers
- “Crash Test Dummies”, the robot dog
Though I agree with the judges comments about how the chain was an unpredictable, and therefore messy, prop, I LOVED the concept. When you’re in a relationship with another person, doesn’t it feel like there’s a chain holding you together? You can’t go anywhere without the other person, or do anything without the other person knowing. And I loved the end when Philip offered Jeanine the key, a way out. I mentioned in another post that the heart was a cute addition to Travis’ dance but it was not choreographed into it very well. The poor dancers looked like they were having a hard time throwing/catching/biting/etc. the necklace.
The chain was the best use of a prop for sure. It had to be difficult to dance with it…I thought Phillip and Jeanine pulled it off. Still surprises me that they were in the bottom three that week.
Okay the dog had to be the cutest prop…lol. Thankfully the dance was amazing, so it didn’t take the attention away from the dancers.
Some props are always risky cause you never know if they will do what you want them to do the day of the show.
