@@davidbrooks7806 Well, we wouldn't know how Jenna really felt, but her acting here was great, and looking at her as Wednesday, I could sense from the screen that Wednesday was grooving it. I mean, as a character who hates socializing, she danced hard on that dance floor. Despite feeling sick during filming, I didn't get that feeling at all. Jenna did great 👍🏻
I wish they would have gotten more of her tribute to Lisa Loring. She was just starting Lisa's Wednesday shuffle and the camera cut to another angle. Jenna did some outstanding research into her dance moves and they all came together perfectly.
Very true u just a glimpse of the original Wednesday dance (which was a little bit of a trend back in the day) and the camera cuts away. Of all part to not include, that was not it.
Jenna Ortega showed an impressive commitment through this role but the dance scene was easily one of the most lovable parts! This scene alone should book her for the next 5 years 😂
I can't believe she was able to keep her face so blank during the dance. When she popped up after tapping his shoulder, I expected her to lift her eyebrows or give some sign of emotion, but she stayed committed. 👏
What I love about this scene is no one is making fun of her. They kinda are living for it. They are enjoying seeing her have fun. Even Bianca is not against the dancing. She just is frustrated with Xavier, who is in his sad boy mode. Her having fun, even if it isn’t obvious, is contagious. Edit: since I have a top comment, I have to add that Hunter is fine af and his husband bagged a babe
The scenes with Enid and Wednesday were so adorable, and some a bit poignant. They have great chemistry. I love how their friendship develops. Love how Wednesday's rivals come to appreciate and respect here. Wednesday even finds a home at the academy.
Really? How is that unbelievable? I swear sometimes people just over hype and praise actors for the stupidest things. All she was doing was flailing her body around and bugging her eyes out. There’s nothing spectacular or crazy about the scene that other people couldn’t do. I’ve seen people at real dances do weird shit like this. It’s not freaking rocket science
@@purpledove7008 well actually she did have to put some thought into it bc in the original Addams family wednesday also does a dance similar to this so she recreated it and modernized it.. so actually kinda cool that they added that and had her do her own choreography.
I want to see the outtakes for this scene. There had to have been some spoiled takes where just trying to maintain the stoic expression had Ortega busting up laughing.
Same when I first watched this scene I was like, Jenna killed it, it's so good but creepy all at the same time, because this queen is just so into it, Jenna nailed this!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This kid just nailed this role especially the dancing it was creepy but mesmerizing. And the bird mating dance thing was exactly what I thought when I saw this last night
Fun fact she actually choreographed this dance on her own I literally love this part Edit: she says that she felt really insecure when she choreographed this because she said she is obviously not a dancer
The guy acted so well, do you know how hard it was for him film that scene?? It was so awkward for them, Wednesday the most. ❤😂😂❤ And the fact she had Covid and no one cared.. They rushed through that scene, knowing she had Covid, And it turns out amazing.. Great job editors! ❤
As a huge dance nerd I'm beyond impressed that she choreographed this herself, this references Fosse, Flamenco and the dance that OG Wednesday did in the original television series. There are seasoned choreographers that wouldn't be able to do something half this good. On a totally shallow note, her arms are PERFECTION. The control she has to throw them about with abandon and then pull in for small, controlled movement is a skill that lifelong dancers work forever to hone.
It's the makeup, it's called "smokey eye". Tired of dudes complimenting make up without acknowledging it. That's why y'all think natural make-up is no make-up, and insist that you like natural women whilst constantly praising the opposite.
The woman is simply a force of nature. There are actors and there are stars, and every now and then, there is someone who is absolutely, undeniably both. Jenna Ortega is both.
Jenna Ortega did this dance on her own... this shows how talented she really is... Jenna Ortega was great as Wednesday Addams the whole cast was great in this. She looks possessed and really scary and she may be an outcast but Wednesday Addams is a force to be reckoned with**** Jenna Ortega pulled it off and Christina Ricci is in this**** This was great to watch... I can't wait to see what Jenna does next. She can dance, fence, and play the Cello..
I loved that parts of her dance style were Gomez, parts were Morticia but it all blended smoothly into a deadpan aggressiveness that was all Wednesday.

oh come on, she is his Ex just so that the show "could reflect the society we live in today". No one in the right mind would be in a relationship with a woman looking like that.
HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS OMG SHES SUCH A GREAT ACTRESSSSSSSS AND SHE CHOREOGRAPHED THIS HERSELF SHE IS SO MULITI TALENTED GET HER AN OSCAR AND ALSO GET HER ON DANCING WITH THE STARS
Wednesday is just too cool for everyone to understand her. I love Tyler in this too. He is not making fun of her, he is having fun with her. He is surprised and mesmerized by her. He doesn´t even try to be "weird" as her. He is dancing with her in his shy way. I know how it ends, and yes, I still ship them XD
Its the fact she was SICK when this was recorded and the fact she CHOREOGRAPHED this dance sells the damn cake. Jenna Ortega is truly a madwoman and a powerhouse.
@@BotfromChina i came across this video, she clearly states she worked on the dance herself and also from where she drew inspiration ruclips.net/video/u-UTjsjslRI/видео.html
Jenna's face at 0:31 is my favorite part of this whole scene lmao Edit: I also love how Jenna said "Can you tell I'm not a dancer?" during the commentary. It truly seemed like she was cringing while watching her performance during this scene and I felt that lmao.
This is not how she would do it. I really enjoyed the dance though. Although I do not think it fits Wednesday’s character. I really wish they’d let this be a series about Wednesday’s daughter instead. Everything in this series would work then. It would work so well. She would have similarities to Wednesday but more on the quirky side (which this new adaptation feels like) and keep the original dark, no f***s given, homicidal energy of the Christina Richie Wednesday.
A freaking star before her years! I don't even overly like the Addams family or this show but by god this whole scene drew me in and I keep rewatching it!! Anyone else?
@@kalindiya Will give him this: This is one of those stroke of genius casting decisions that could make or break the whole thing. Either way, I think Ortega is on track for a pretty huge career rise. She's great.
Fun fact: she was not confident at all she was extremely nervous because when they were shooting the scene they did not have the fog,dark lighting,other people dancing around it was just her dancing infront of everyone and the effects and people dancing in the back were added later they were also using a over head camera that was extremely close to her face and the extras and other actors just stood by watching her dance. Still Tim Burton loved it and didn't even asked to reshoot it
I was scrolling down for ages to find this comment bc I had faith in the collective wisdom of the internet that other people already made this comparison too, though the season just came out 😂 in my opinion, she is even more charismatic than Mia
Her dance moves were actually really amazing to me in this scene. It felt like a very Wednesday way to dance and I appreciate Jenna so much for the performance. I also loved the psychobilly song they used with her, matched really well!
Thinking about the scene, it is obvious she know how to dance, she is an Addams after all. Morticia and Gomez always are dancing, aren’t they. Jenna was impressive, the whole scene. I can’t wait for more.
1:01 my absolute favorite part! The fact that Jenna coreographed this dance herself is insane, I though a professional dancer was behind every step of this masterpiece!! This is something only a person who truly understands the character would be able to do❤
I can do what she did in this scene, but could I have choreographed it? No. Could I have done it at age 20? An even bigger no. As someone who's been dancing in clubs for decades, I just want people to know that while this may not require a great deal of athleticism, it still requires a lot of skill. It's peak art. I'd gladly get off of the dance floor to give her room to do her thing.
The fact that she said in an interview that she made the choreography herself blows my mind... the whole dance is so impressive. She is definitely perfect for the role.
Its even better than that. Apparently she was asked if she wanted to choreograph the dance herself and she said sure. 2 Days before the shoot she completely forgot that she agreed to choreograph and so in a spur of motivation spent the next two days straight, sleeplessly researching different dance moves. O and she also had COVID during this....which is a dick move on the directors part.
Wednesday Addams has always been a dancer since the 1960s, taught leerch how to dance. The dance was weird but cool at the same time, makes me wanna learn it.
I love how Tyler looks at her during this scene. First confusion but then he just enjoys her being her and looks at her so adorably 🥺. I saw the end coming, but still… Ugh, I love them and my heart hurts.
I know that Jenna Ortega says she isn’t a dancer and she was really insecure about this scene, but she KILLED THIS. Even though it’s a weird Wednesday dance, it’s performed so well that I can’t help but be intrigued
As someone who considers himself to be a great club dancer, I think that she did a fantastic job. I'd be happy to share a dance floor with her. I'd even get off of the floor to give her more room to dance.
The fact she perfectly combined Fosse with the moves I've loved seeing pulled at goth clubs a few days before shooting this is so damn amazing. My first time seeing Jenna Ortega in anything and so excited to see where her career goes from her (hopefully several more seasons of Wednesday of course too)
With all the commercialized “art” in todays music and film industry, this scene was pretty captivating. Just a simple reminder that we can still be just as creative as we were in the 80’s and 90’s. Props to Jenna Ortega for keeping art alive and well. Good song choice as well. Felt like a breath of fresh air!
Oh you can’t wait huh? I had to get myself drunk to stop myself when I realized that I wanted to call whoever is the boss of this series and scream at him/her to HURRY UP WITH SEASON 2!!! 😂
I love this because each section of her dance feels like a smooth transition from a creepy dance to a somewhat graceful yet creepy one. Idk, can't really explain it.
@@FBIDavidTScott Frustrating that no one has the verbal acuity to use any other word but creepy these days. I'm sure my generation over used "cool" in much the same way.
i love how this balances "strange and elegant" with "goofy teenager at a party" like perfectly. jenna's choreography is so fun to watch, she's so perfect as wednesday
@@jackmehoff5201 Why'd they ever repeal those miscegenation laws :( Now instead of lynchings, insecure white bigots can only hurl around slurs on youtube, it's a horrible age to live in
This dance is already iconic. It says she decides to keep her guards down a bit for Tyler and she initiates a flirt in her way. I say that because she is just doing her own thing but making eye contact one hundred percent on him while he is absolutely fascinated. Besides that, her flamenco moves is also a reference from the 90's movie where her parents passionately dance in a restaurant.
Omg yes! I've always viewed her dance as something like those fancy-looking birds that will dance to lure a mate. I know those are usually male birds, and that's not totally what she's doing- I'm not over here trying to day she was 100% initiating a mating ritual, just that this is how it comes across in my mind 😅 I don't see Wednesday doing this with anyone but someone she's completely comfortable with (and that just so happened to be a monster lol, very on-brand)
@@ina6601. Yes!!! lol a mating danceeeee!!! That's it! If we analyze the former scene (which leads to the dance), Tyler is confessing the bad things he'd done and we can see that she didn't see that coming, but she doesn't judge him and she says she would have gone further lol She realizes he was not so innocent as she imagined and they somehow are connected: 2 messed-up kids trying to find their way. And then he says he likes her and she softens. C'mon!!!! As you said, she was completely confortable with him and she decided to amaze him with her dance. It is what is!!!
@@marlonclark1896 I saw in an interview that she watched a bunch of dances, including that one, and that's how she came up with the choreography. Pretty darn impressive tbh
Y'know why I love this? Wednesday is being herself. She genuinely does not give a shit that the whole room stops to stare at her. In a room full of white, she stands out in black. In a room full of followers, she's an independent thinker. Wednesday is unique in that way, and this dance is just the same. The quiet, moody, intellectually superior, dark girl is, for once, showing that she's enjoying herself in the most unique and Wednesday way possible.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ No more child rape cults, thank you. Go take your Jesus and tell him to shove his narcissism up his own ass. Rome did the right thing crucifying that narcissistic child rape forgiving bigot.
i think that's what really makes it mesmerizing, her eyes are always open and always focused not and while its on him a bulk of the time the camera makes it look like's directly watching the audience which makes draws you in, in my opinion.
Exactly How I was feeling the first time I watched the episode I was like wtf then was like oh this kinda lit and get on the internet and the dance is trending lol

Well none of it should be cringe cuz it's all actual dance movies from the 60s lol
When i realized that she'd dance i prayed to god for not seeing something cringe like SHE HULK but i ended obssesed with her performance. 🖤
@@chuchis-yt9213 she-hulk stayed true to her source material as did Wednesday stayed true to hers. It's tim Burton, he's sticks to characters origin material albeit tweaking it a bit for the sake of an interesting story, like how he expanded on sleepy hollow or Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Yes, she looks confident while doing this dance. It still gives off a kinda weird/cringe vibe cause she's the only one doing that dance. But cringe in a good way I suppose. :P
Jenna’s performance here is MIND blowing, but can we just talk about how Tyler gazes at her? Utterly love-struck.
I wish Tyler’s arc had gone differently. 😢
@@SonniDez RIGHT I HATE that they made him out the villain, like I understand it as a twist to the story but it wasn't all that shocking I saw it from the start.... I just thought they would make it where he is a victim being controlled and Wednesday tries to help him control his Hyde... That would da made for better viewing, they probably going to set up a love interest with xavier and hes just annoying...
Ye a 28 year old man ogling a young girl ….
@@SL-qg7zt it’s called acting? Plus she’s 20 so I wouldn’t call her a “young girl”😂…
@@itzniy7322 I think a 28 year old and a 20 year old is rancid tbh
She got Xavier so hooked that he had to ask his ex to make him forget about her lmaooo, I love Wednesday. and this dance lives in my head rent free.
Whose Xavier? The brooding- guy 😂
Yeah all she ever did is accuse him of murder.
@@Jim222001 do you blame her, he did a connection with the Hyde like drawing the cave and the monster, being at the same place as the monster shows, it didn’t look good for him. Like I actually thought he was the monster.
@@Jim222001 FR LOL I like when the guy she's dancing with, said in one part that she was giving him "mix signals" i was like "BRUH she not even giving straight signals what u talking about?!!?!? These guys are delusional af" LOL
oh come on, she is his Ex just so that the show "could reflect the society we live in today". No one in the right mind would be in a relationship with a woman looking like that.
HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS OMG SHES SUCH A GREAT ACTRESSSSSSSS AND SHE CHOREOGRAPHED THIS HERSELF SHE IS SO MULITI TALENTED GET HER AN OSCAR AND ALSO GET HER ON DANCING WITH THE STARS
Agreed!
Agree
Truly
100% Percent agree with you. Her performance is just spectacular. She is a natural.
By far the best scene in the show, so unexpected but yet so intriguing
this scene and the hug scene. that hug got me.
The sheer confidence on display in her dancing, beautiful honestly.
I never thought to see the day that Wednesday would dance,
This is fantastic. Also can't wait until season 2 starts.
Wednesday is just too cool for everyone to understand her.
I love Tyler in this too. He is not making fun of her, he is having fun with her. He is surprised and mesmerized by her. He doesn´t even try to be "weird" as her. He is dancing with her in his shy way.
I know how it ends, and yes, I still ship them XD
Same! I was so disappointed lol. They better renew it 🤣🤣
@@brianpennington4323 What happened?
i might be the only one who didnt get the chemistry lol, but i agree. tyler was super sweet in this scene
@@uraldixon9673 He’s the monster.
He’s evil
She is the best thing that could happen to this show. She did so great as Wednesday.
ruclips.net/video/sSaPeGj25kA/видео.html
Esa escena , fue de la puta madre. Simplemente ICONICA
Absolutely. Not that the show has no merit, but she takes it to the next level.
her and her roommate are the only good things that happened to the show
Its the fact she was SICK when this was recorded and the fact she CHOREOGRAPHED this dance sells the damn cake.
Jenna Ortega is truly a madwoman and a powerhouse.
She choreogeaphed it? That's so awesome. She's freaking incredible
She was sick?
@@TeaT1M3 Was waiting on a covid test while filming it, which came back positive.
The dance is from the original tv series. Look it up
@@BotfromChina i came across this video, she clearly states she worked on the dance herself and also from where she drew inspiration
ruclips.net/video/u-UTjsjslRI/видео.html
This dance scene has now become a cult classic all by itself. Unbelievable acting and choreography!
This scene made me realize why Xavier fell in love with her. She’s so unapologetically herself
@favored&graced Did Tyler really love her or was he just playing her I don't know
@@tessacanterbury8935 Maybe he did like her, but after she was torturing him, I wouldn't like her anymore either 💀
Hahaha Xavier boy was foaming and fuming as he watched her bird mating dance with another lmao. Poor thing.
Made it 1k likes
really? unapologetically? i bet youve been waiting for years to use that word lmao.... crigne bro
Jenna's face at 0:31 is my favorite part of this whole scene lmao
Edit: I also love how Jenna said "Can you tell I'm not a dancer?" during the commentary. It truly seemed like she was cringing while watching her performance during this scene and I felt that lmao.
I truly think this is my favorite part though I love the whole thing. ❤️ just something about her face right at this point was what grabbed me.
Yesss. We are our own worst critics.
Basically the height of her cuteness
Kinda Jhonny Deep version of vampire 🦇
i cringed too
The cool part is that you don’t think of Wednesday as someone that dances, but this is exactly how she would do it.
Wednesday danced with Lurch.
And her cousin at festers welcome home party.
This is not how she would do it. I really enjoyed the dance though. Although I do not think it fits Wednesday’s character. I really wish they’d let this be a series about Wednesday’s daughter instead. Everything in this series would work then. It would work so well. She would have similarities to Wednesday but more on the quirky side (which this new adaptation feels like) and keep the original dark, no f***s given, homicidal energy of the Christina Richie Wednesday.
@@echofourmike85 If you watch this scene, you'll see she did a part of that dance from the original Addams Family in here as well. at the .54 mark
@@kdjhannelWednesday’s daughter!? You’ve been watching too much Disney channel
A freaking star before her years! I don't even overly like the Addams family or this show but by god this whole scene drew me in and I keep rewatching it!! Anyone else?
I’m sorry but it’s the way Tyler smiles at Wednesday, I just love him to pieces. Wednesdays dance is sooooooo good.
He really had us in the first half ngl.
He really had to be so fit for no reason
Why did tim burton play us all?🥲 they were end game
I love him for her, but did he really like her on his own or was it all just part of the plan? So many questions but no answers 😭
@@larcengrey0 I know did he typer like her or was the Hyde using her on orders from Laura?
I love how Tyler just went with it and tried to copy her !!!
And then he tries to eliminate her 😂
Lmaoooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her dance is unique, weird, atrocious, creepy and I LOVE IT.
Kooky :)
Daddy's little storm cloud, death trap has got this!
Its creepy and its kooky. Mysterious and spooky. Shes all together ooky.
Stephanie Kay
i can't believe she actually coreographed this dance herself... all the people and the lights ! everything ! she should be a director
The way she dances is very aggressive and creepy but at the same time very graceful I love it
She deserves an Emmy for her performance! Casting couldn't have found a better actor for this role. Great job!
They say Tim Burton hand picked her
I agree with you, she is fabulous in Wednesday ! 🤩🤩🤩
I agree! She deserves an Emmy!
@@kalindiya I think she her self Said Tim Burton picked her in one of the interviews she did
@@kalindiya Will give him this: This is one of those stroke of genius casting decisions that could make or break the whole thing.
Either way, I think Ortega is on track for a pretty huge career rise. She's great.
She is actually quite an impressive dancer. Her movements are so sharp when they need to be and elegant and fluid at other times. Amazing control.
hi
😅fhuryhskwJdjh
Gisheych
🥰🥺🤣
I talked about The Origin of the Character Wednesday in The Addams Family on my podcast 😢
You know nothing of dance, and are clearly blind
Nah she looks like one of those inflatable people you see at car dealerships
This will always be one of the top 20 dances of all time.
Jenna is incredible, I love that she doesn't care that people are staring, she kills it when she's dancing, she's doing it with confidence
Well it’s what she was getting paid for
i mean, she’s an actor
It’s not Jenna is a character named Wednesday 😂
Fun fact: she was not confident at all she was extremely nervous because when they were shooting the scene they did not have the fog,dark lighting,other people dancing around it was just her dancing infront of everyone and the effects and people dancing in the back were added later they were also using a over head camera that was extremely close to her face and the extras and other actors just stood by watching her dance. Still Tim Burton loved it and didn't even asked to reshoot it
@@osky529 ok, now that's a good fact, I didn't know that
This will be as iconic as the Pulp Fiction dance scene. Magnificent!
Honestly, it kind of reminded me of that scene, with how serious everyone was through it.
That what I was thinking also.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
At least she doesn't do the Megan dance
I was scrolling down for ages to find this comment bc I had faith in the collective wisdom of the internet that other people already made this comparison too, though the season just came out 😂 in my opinion, she is even more charismatic than Mia
Her dance moves were actually really amazing to me in this scene. It felt like a very Wednesday way to dance and I appreciate Jenna so much for the performance. I also loved the psychobilly song they used with her, matched really well!
It’s The Cramps
@@karl4286 I know, me and my mom freaked out when we watched it together. It was perfect for her
Fun fact the dance itself is based on choreograph from a dancer named Bob Fosse. You can tell the similarities from a dance called Rich Man’s Frug.
@@ShadoWolfJaden yeah! The fosse dance move is my favorite from the sequence
@@moviemandyy no it isnt
This never gets old, no matter times I've seen it!
Thinking about the scene, it is obvious she know how to dance, she is an Addams after all. Morticia and Gomez always are dancing, aren’t they. Jenna was impressive, the whole scene. I can’t wait for more.
Season 2 better happen or else I'll troll all the future netflix shows. Istg
I remember watching this and thinking what a unique yet amazing dance style this was. Creepy yet quirky and elegant
1:01 my absolute favorite part! The fact that Jenna coreographed this dance herself is insane, I though a professional dancer was behind every step of this masterpiece!! This is something only a person who truly understands the character would be able to do❤
I can do what she did in this scene, but could I have choreographed it? No. Could I have done it at age 20? An even bigger no. As someone who's been dancing in clubs for decades, I just want people to know that while this may not require a great deal of athleticism, it still requires a lot of skill. It's peak art. I'd gladly get off of the dance floor to give her room to do her thing.
This is a small thing but i really love the way her hair looked when it fell into place
She didn't. Every single thing in this was either from the original Addams family, or your historical goth dances.
@@aricaric1894 Jenna used a lot of references of course but she created something new
The quick blink homage to the original Wednesday at 00:53 is life!
Blink and you’ll miss it but at 0:54 Wednesday does her signature dance from the original show
i noticed that and SCREAMED
There was a lot of things they did to pay tribute to the movies and shows
Yes thought I was the only one who noticed. Wish they did more of a close-up on that part.
All are original shows! But you have all the reason....she dance like the litlle girl from the 60s series
The music here is also very similar.
The fact that she said in an interview that she made the choreography herself blows my mind... the whole dance is so impressive. She is definitely perfect for the role.
Its even better than that. Apparently she was asked if she wanted to choreograph the dance herself and she said sure. 2 Days before the shoot she completely forgot that she agreed to choreograph and so in a spur of motivation spent the next two days straight, sleeplessly researching different dance moves. O and she also had COVID during this....which is a dick move on the directors part.
@@lordofudead looks like she forgot and tried to stich something in hurry…. Mental patient.
@@lordofudead She herself is to blame for this, no one forced her to say "of course"
Your average mental hospital patient could come up with this...
@@lordofudead they were awaiting her test results at the time... not the directors fault.
1:15: This is my favorite part. The guitar riff, her intense gaze, with the shoulders swaying from side to side has such a Tarantino dance vibe.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i knoww i love that part
Charlie Brownish...shoulder to shoulder.
yeah great scene
Tarantino doesn't dance
@@mrwhosmynameagain 🤦🏻♂️
Goo Goo Muck!
Wednesday Addams has always been a dancer since the 1960s, taught leerch how to dance. The dance was weird but cool at the same time, makes me wanna learn it.
Wednesday dancing with Lurch was great
I love how Tyler looks at her during this scene. First confusion but then he just enjoys her being her and looks at her so adorably 🥺. I saw the end coming, but still… Ugh, I love them and my heart hurts.
he's a monster lol
@@kholli it was nice while it lasted 😔
What happened?
Mine too💔😭 omg. It’s still so sad
no he is no different than werewolves, he just manipulated hard, redemption arc maybe
This is my favourite scene in the show 🤩
And her cello!
SAME!!!!
Me too!
Wow awesome
I know that Jenna Ortega says she isn’t a dancer and she was really insecure about this scene, but she KILLED THIS. Even though it’s a weird Wednesday dance, it’s performed so well that I can’t help but be intrigued
As someone who considers himself to be a great club dancer, I think that she did a fantastic job. I'd be happy to share a dance floor with her. I'd even get off of the floor to give her more room to dance.
she actually choregraphed that dance herself from videos of older dancers she liked and videos of goth kids dancing only days prior to the tapping
@@zdh789 she did this dance spontaneously, no practicing beforehand.
@@Shawn_Wright what a useless bit of info! Thanks!
@@gottfriedhub i cant tell if youre being sarcastic or not lmfao 💀💀
This choreography is Pulp Fiction-y, Uma Thurman-esque on the iconic dance scene scale. Brilliant job Jenna!🙌

Mmmh, I see 80s
Is like sweet charity movie dances
She based the dance on Siouxsie Sioux.
Let's say this, Wednesday is an incredible show. The cast did great.
Yes they did. I'm on my 2nd time watching!
Exactly! I can’t wait for another season.
where is it available?
@@hahayuck2169 Netflix
I LOVE THIS DANCE!!! JENNA MARIE I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR THI😅😅😅😅😅😅
I love how she incorporated some dance moves from the original TV show Wednesday. Well done. Can't wait for next season
cool theres gonna be another season?
The fact she perfectly combined Fosse with the moves I've loved seeing pulled at goth clubs a few days before shooting this is so damn amazing. My first time seeing Jenna Ortega in anything and so excited to see where her career goes from her (hopefully several more seasons of Wednesday of course too)
With all the commercialized “art” in todays music and film industry, this scene was pretty captivating. Just a simple reminder that we can still be just as creative as we were in the 80’s and 90’s. Props to Jenna Ortega for keeping art alive and well. Good song choice as well. Felt like a breath of fresh air!
I still come back to this video haha.
Just finished watching all the episodes. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next series. Her dancing was great it didn't break character.
Just finished too and I loved loved it
Me tree!!!
It’s a good show , I was weak at like the first 2 episodes , but it came to be really good hahaha
If you watched the 60s sitcom & the 90s animated show.
This is actually pretty accurate to her character 🤣
Oh you can’t wait huh? I had to get myself drunk to stop myself when I realized that I wanted to call whoever is the boss of this series and scream at him/her to HURRY UP WITH SEASON 2!!! 😂
I love this because each section of her dance feels like a smooth transition from a creepy dance to a somewhat graceful yet creepy one. Idk, can't really explain it.
Try using different diction (any other) word besides creepy. Start with a thesaurus.
@@Orcinus1967 mad?
Outstanding
@@FBIDavidTScott Frustrating that no one has the verbal acuity to use any other word but creepy these days. I'm sure my generation over used "cool" in much the same way.

This dance is already iconic. It says she decides to keep her guards down a bit for Tyler and she initiates a flirt in her way. I say that because she is just doing her own thing but making eye contact one hundred percent on him while he is absolutely fascinated. Besides that, her flamenco moves is also a reference from the 90's movie where her parents passionately dance in a restaurant.
Omg yes! I've always viewed her dance as something like those fancy-looking birds that will dance to lure a mate. I know those are usually male birds, and that's not totally what she's doing- I'm not over here trying to day she was 100% initiating a mating ritual, just that this is how it comes across in my mind 😅 I don't see Wednesday doing this with anyone but someone she's completely comfortable with (and that just so happened to be a monster lol, very on-brand)
@@ina6601. Yes!!! lol a mating danceeeee!!! That's it! If we analyze the former scene (which leads to the dance), Tyler is confessing the bad things he'd done and we can see that she didn't see that coming, but she doesn't judge him and she says she would have gone further lol She realizes he was not so innocent as she imagined and they somehow are connected: 2 messed-up kids trying to find their way. And then he says he likes her and she softens. C'mon!!!! As you said, she was completely confortable with him and she decided to amaze him with her dance. It is what is!!!
When she taps his shoulder and he turns and she makes that hard eye contact, my favorite part in the whole dance.
I’m really impressed that Jenna Ortega was able to keep such a straight face while doing this hella weird dance sequence
That’s why they’re called professional actors
Also called “editing” and “multiple takes”.
She also said she had covid while filming this
fun fact: look very closely at 0:55 that's the Lisa Loring Dance from the 60's tv show
@@marlonclark1896 I saw in an interview that she watched a bunch of dances, including that one, and that's how she came up with the choreography. Pretty darn impressive tbh

@@LordEskay I wouldn't say fitting in, more like standing out- in a good way.
ruclips.net/video/YQN8gNWf_V4/видео.html
Y'know why I love this? Wednesday is being herself. She genuinely does not give a shit that the whole room stops to stare at her. In a room full of white, she stands out in black. In a room full of followers, she's an independent thinker. Wednesday is unique in that way, and this dance is just the same.
The quiet, moody, intellectually superior, dark girl is, for once, showing that she's enjoying herself in the most unique and Wednesday way possible.
We definitely need more Wednesdays in the world.
