Jenna Ortega choreographed her big dance scene in WednesdayNetflix 😱👏 'I actually felt really insecure about this, I choreographed that myself and I think it’s very obvious that I’m not a dancer or choreographer.”
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega reveals she choreographed her character's dance in episode 4 of the Netflix series. Ortega debuted as the titular character this November, starring in Netflix's eight-episode Addams Family adaptation helmed by Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Tim Burton. The series sets itself apart from other adaptations through several means, but primarily due to its focus on the Addams family daughter, whose rarely depicted teen years are explored in the show.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Burton has previously described some of the steps Ortega took to be able to embody the character of Wednesday, which included walking like Wednesday in her daily life, taking up fencing, and learning cello. While appearing in a video along with several of her cast mates for Still Watching Netflix, Ortega revealed yet another tidbit that proves her devotion to the role, which involved the instantly iconic Wednesday dance sequence in episode 4.
“I actually felt really insecure about this, I choreographed that myself and I think it’s very obvious that I’m not a dancer or choreographer.”Wednesday's Dance Scene Was More Important Than You Realize Wednesday episode 4 saw the eponymous character head to Nevermore Academy's Rave'N Dance.
In the context of the series, Wednesday's dance allowed viewers to see the character blossom in a new setting, demonstrating that, despite being unsure of her place at Nevermore Academy, her strong sense of individuality remains intact. Ortega has previously shared that the moves were inspired by the dancing in Goth clubs in the 1980s, which fits the timeless nature of Wednesday's character as well as perfectly embodying her theme.
Jenna Ortega's Devotion Makes Her The Ultimate Wednesday Successor Given how weird, artistic, and gothic Wednesday's dance scene was, learning that Ortega was the one who choreographed it proves once again that she was the perfect choice to portray the titular character.
