Jenna Ortega revealed Friday while appearing on \u201cThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon\u201d that her now-viral dance from the Netflix series \u201cWednesday\u201d took her two days to choreograph. <\/p>\n
\u201c[Director\u00a0Tim Burton] came to my trailer about two days before we shot it and said, ‘Hey Jenna, so I know you said you wanted to choreograph this yourself,’\u201d said Ortega, 20, said. \u201cHe was like, ‘I know you got it, you’ve been working on it, I’m not even worried about it. I trust you.’ And I said, ‘Oh, yeah. You know, it’s all so good.’\u201d<\/p>\n
The dance appears in the Addams family spin-off with the \u201cScream\u201d star dancing \u2014 while deadpanning \u2014 to the Cramps’ 1981 hit \u201cGoo Goo Muck.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Ortega, there was only one misstep. <\/p>\n
\u201cI had not gone over it at all,\u201d Ortega confessed. \u201cI was doing cello that week, fencing that week. I just didn’t have time \u2026 Oh my God, I was kicking myself. I felt like such a fool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ortega then revealed that she watched \u201cjust anything I could get my hands on\u201d to get inspiration for the dance. <\/p>\nThe dance appears in the Addams family spin-off with the \u201cScream\u201d star dancing \u2014 while deadpanning \u2014 to the Cramps’ 1981 hit \u201cGoo Goo Muck.\u201d<\/figcaption>Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJenna Ortega revealed Friday while appearing on \u201cThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon\u201d that her now-viral dance from the Netflix series \u201cWednesday\u201d took her two days to choreograph.<\/figcaption>Todd Owyoung\/NBC via Getty Image<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOrtega also revealed that she wanted to incorporate certain things in her dance, including a small tribute to Lisa Loring \u2014 the first Wednesday Addams \u2014 within the dance. <\/figcaption>\u00a9Netflix\/Courtesy Everett Colle<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe dance has since exploded on TikTok as the latest trend with creators using the choreography instead of the original audio, users have been using Lady Gaga’s \u201cBloody Mary.\u201d <\/figcaption>Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI’m not a dancer. I don’t do any of that. I have no experience in that field,\u201d said Ortega. \u201cI didn’t sleep for two days. I watched videos of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Denis Lavant in ‘Beau Travail.’ I found archival footage of goth kids dancing in clubs in the ’80s. Lena Lovich. Nina Hagen. And then, on the day, I thought, ‘All right, let’s see what happens.’\u201d <\/p>\n
