Jenna Ortega Explains How Her Viral Wednesday Dance Got here to Be

Jenna Ortega has turned Wednesday Addams right into a viral dancing queen.

Likelihood is, in case you’re a fan of Netflix’s new Addams Household spinoff collection Wednesday, your social media algorithm has showered you with TikTok movies of children and adults performing an intense dance that the actress’ character, Wednesday Addams, showcased on the present. On the Dec. 16 episode of The Tonight Present Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ortega mentioned how her now-viral dance got here to be.

“Initially, they needed a flash mob, however I assumed, no, there is not any means Wednesday could be cool with dancing and inspiring a bunch of individuals,” the actress stated. “The director, Tim Burton, and I talked about it a bit of bit, and he stated, ‘Yeah, let’s not do a circle. Let’s have or not it’s her personal factor.'”

The 20-year-old continued, “Per week earlier than we shot the dance, he selected the [1981] track ‘Goo Goo Muck’ by The Cramps. And The Cramps is one among my favourite bands ever, so I used to be tremendous excited, tremendous pumped.”
