The Real Story Behind Wednesday's Dance Scene
850Netflix’s Wednesday has everyone diving deep into the world of Wednesday Addams, portrayed by the incredible Jenna Ortega. In this video we’ll be digging deep into her iconic dance at the Rave’N. Did you know that Jenna Ortega actually choreographed the entire thing herself two days before the shoot? She didn’t have time to work on it that week because she was busy learning German, taking Cello lessons, and fencing! She really had her hands full. Tim Burton refused to work with a choreographer, so Jenna decided to take the task on herself. She ended up kicking herself down the line because she would not consider herself a dancer, much less a choreographer, and has never done anything like this before. Something else that’s pretty insane is the fact that she had Covid during the shoot! She woke up that day with some major body aches and an awful sore throat, but she didn’t end up getting the test results back until later, so she ended up having to shoot the scene in that condition. She even asked to redo it when she felt better, but they just didn’t have the time. We wonder how different the scene actually would’ve been. She uses a lot of artists and musicians as inspiration for her movies – even the OG Wednesday, Christina Ricci. Did you notice the original Wednesday Addams dance movie, The Drew? We’ll be getting into all of this, and much more!
