Wednesday Addams | Dance Scene | Netflix
/ netflix
Smart, sarcastic and a little dead inside, Wednesday Addams investigates a murder spree while making new friends - and foes - at Nevermore Academy.
Her moves absolutely take you by surprise the first time you see them because of how animated they are and how perfectly it suits her character. It also reminds us that Wednesday isn't just some socially awkward teen; she's full of character and couldn't give a rat's mummified ass if you understood her or not. To top that off, knowing that Jenna Ortega choreographed this herself over two sleepless nights just makes this so iconic.
She can’t dance
@@joeyfalcon1793 And she still did a choreo, imo the dance could've been better, but 1st of all, she's not a dancer at all, 2nd of all, it's Wednesday Addams she's playing, not some high school typical blonde that does dance and cheer, and last of all, if you don't like it, don't say anything about it. Jenna did great with this, and absolutely owned this role. And don't come at me saying "YoU dOn'T kNoW dAnCe" because i do.
Can we stop over using the word "iconic"? Everything these days is iconic it seems, It's lost it's meaning.
@@Landofnothing Im inclined to agree with you. However I think this is just that memorable and particular enough to be iconic. I haven't seen anything like this, have you?
@@Landofnothing iconic statement
I loved her evolution throughout the series, slowly breaking out of her shell and becoming more yet still being the Wednesday she is.
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 ❤️ 💗
Ikr? I can’t wait to see her as White Tiger in Daredevil: Born Again if it happens
@Jack Wrath stop the 🧢
Yeah, I feel like a lot of shows overdo the evolution, but Wednesday's felt believable
Becoming more what? More what???
he fact that this wasn’t choreographed for her, just Jenna Ortega going for it, makes it even better. 👏
i agree
The fact she researched goths dancing in nightclubs in '80s, encroporated a nod to the Wednesdays from the '60s dance and then performed it while she had COVID (she hadn't tested positive yet which is why she was still onset)
The fact that she even added the dance move from the original Addams family series by lisa lorring is just so memorable she would be proud❤
0:48 it's a shame they cut it almost all of it to show the other 2 characters watching her
I noticed it and most of us screamed, "Let her do the whole dance done by Little Lisa Loring"
I'd never noticed that before, but I went back through and watched it again because of your comment and when I saw it I was like OMG!!!
Too bad they showed like a second of it
love it
Ortega was exceptional in this, she really captured the essence of Wednesday Addams. I’m looking forward to a sequel.
Let's hope it has a second season very soon.
Seems like a sequel is definitely in the bag considering how they ended on a cliffhanger + how the cast members have been responding to interview questions haha.
No she didn’t. You must be about 15.
@@samueldavis5895 yes she did, you must be 10
@@xoxizzie after taking a look at your subs, I’m clearly right 🤣
Ortega made Wednesday very believable and it's so refreshing how she truly portrayed Wednesday as a teen and as she said she didn't wish to 'rip off' the original wednesdays. I felt she did a great job and made Wednesday shine through the screen, I can definitely feel uncomfortable with Wednesday's actions but at the same time can't help to drawn to her
I thought she played Wednesday pretty good, but now you say she wanted to be different I am now scratching my head wondering where the differences are. lol
@@Zauchi She said she wanted her role to be more unique and different than her other acting roles, I don't think she meant she wanted her Wednesdsy to be different from past actors.
And within that we can all agree that we just need season 2, right?
@@Zauchi by today's standard staying true to the original material is a unique thing. She is W only not 8-9 but a teen . With all the consequances of it.
A show that encourages young women to act crazy. Disgusting show from pedophile hollywood.
This is why I love Tyler for her, he doesn’t judge. He loves her kooky, spooky vibe and just rolls with it :)
well.
Do they know?
who’s gonna tell them
I think you have just seen only half of the show dude 😅
@@Raja.2001 No, I saw it all. He only attacked her because he was being influenced by his master who hated her. She wasn’t mad that he lied to her, she was mad because she was tricked and lost. She doesn’t care that he is a serial killer, since she comes from a family with quite a few of them and murder isn’t taboo or bad, and has nearly killed people herself and enjoys her victim’s fear too. She never cared that the hyde was killing people but was more fascinated by it and when no one believed her that it was real, she became obsessed with providing its existence and that she was right, not for justice. When it attacked Eugene, she wanted revenge by exposing it, not justice. They are the same brand of sadistic, manipulative sociopaths and perfect for each other.
She got her inspiration from 80s and 90s goth club dances. Pretty cool!
Yep, her dress screams 80s.
more like pulp fiction
I'm so impressed by Ortega's ability to be so expressive without smiling, yelling, etc. She absolutely nailed this role.
Knowing that she personally choreographer the dance based off early goth culture and that it was her first time preforming it in front of everyone. A lot of the reactions were real and it makes the scene so much more captivating. She even hid her face in an interview when talking about it because she was still embarrassed and feels it isn't good enough.
@@damonlied9495 and she had COVID at that time... Although she didn't know it yet.. really passionate and committed to his work.

Show was ok , still would rather watch the 2 movies
@@porcihorse where are you hearing people hate? I’ve googled a bunch of reviews it’s getting a lot of love
@@porcihorse but it's not hate, it's just true
I think Wednesday is mocked/criticized because looks isn't spot-on. People wanted Wednesday to not have bangs because it's how it should be I think. Christina Ricci's character didn't have one in the 90s and I think the first movie didn't have it too.
Her eyes are like 90% of the dance. Love the whole thing, great performance.
90%?? That might be you just being 90%.....nevermind.

Jenna Ortega is great as Wednesday Addams. She plays her as an excellent introverted character who doesn’t care about people’s negative opinions about her. That’s a life goal there!
No she cares, she just doesn't show it
This was exactly how I pictured a Wednesday dance to be, It even looked as if she might have learned some of those moves from Morticia. Jenna Ortega nailed this dance and absolutely captured Wednesday in this scene.
That was what i’m thinking too. Some of the move were definitely from her mom 👏🏼

The fact that she made that dance up herself, shows the talent she has as an actress, she’s gonna have a great career
The dance was a bunch of random moves. The dance itself wasn’t special but her facial expressions made it 100 times better
@@maau5trap273 the dance was quintessential Wednesday. It's exactly how I'd imagine her dancing.
She used a couple dance steps from old school black and white Addams family tv show Wednesday Addams.
tbh its quite similar to fosse
She copied parts from different places. There's a video talking about it
What I love is this is the epitome of what she is about - different but comfortable in her own skin. It is empowering to anyone who feels like they have to “fit in”. Be who you are and be amazing. It’s inspiring :)
Jenna Ortega played this scene so wonderfully. Wednesday looks like she's extremely confident in her dance moves and like she's having the time of her life, even though she has the same emotionless expression all the time. She added so much soul to this character while remaining faithful to who she has always been. She's such a talented actress and I hope her career goes places.
I love how Wednesday doesn’t care about what others think. Jenna did an awesome job with this.
Same.

A show that encourages young women to act crazy. Disgusting show from pedophile hollywood.
@@ddsbobos7873 why are you copy and pasting this everywhere nobody cares and it’s fictional, it’s for entertainment purposes it’s not encouraging anything. Besides, dancing in a fun and weird way isn’t “crazy”. People call everything pedophilia nowadays because how does that even make sense? She’s not dancing sensually, she’s not wearing anything revealing, and her character is underage but she isn’t. Maybe you’re the pedophile since you took it in that way.
just taking a second to appreciate that most of the facial acting in this was in her eyes. she brought so much life to wednesday and this dance with just her eyes. what angle she was looking at, whether she seemed interested or disinterested in what she was looking at, how wide open her eyes were, where they were looking in relation to the camera..
The eyes are really what takes this to the next level. I just can't look away. She's not just captivating. I am left totally transfixed. If she was a vampire I'd be toast.

I wish they'd show the part where she asked Xavier to the dance. It was hilarious. Her subtle acting was great, she can act just with her eyes and subtle hints. It's like seeing her wear a poker face but you know when she's embarrassed or when she's happy or excited.

here's the awesome part- Jenna choreographed it herself!
Jenna did it all by herself!
In an interview, she said parts of it was an Homage to Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Jenna actually had 3 versions of the dance and this was her final result!
same this is one of favorite scenes
Ortega is just the best as Wednesday. And I'm sure her input will continue. Legacy is what is most important
What was so great about this scene is that Wednesday totally was purely herself and not only did no one judge her for it, she actually got into the spirit of her surroundings too. You had everyone having a good time including her and just happy to be there. It also probably is why no one blamed her for the blood rain afterwards too.
Am I the only one who thinks she is going to be a mega star now?! This show looks brilliant.

This is an absolute work of art. At 0.53 she does a version of the watusi that the original Wednesday Addams did on the TV show, and some of her arm movements earlier on are also from the same routine. She also does some of her father's tango moves. Not only did Ortega come up with moves that are 100 percent in character, she also did her feckin' homework so it's not just new stuff, it's a slight homage to the original. Big brain acting.
0:53
Actually It’s around 0:51 - 0:52 after she walk by Tyler.
YESSS THIS! I came here to say that! My favorite part
yeah same steps christina Aguilera did in burlesque audition scene
Indeed a work of art!
I got goosebumps from this scene - it was very Addams family-esque. Jenna proved that she's worthy of the role for this scene in and of itself.
It's only a matter of time and she will preform the Mamushka.
She is always meant to for this role. This girl has charisma. 🖤🖤
Yea, you jacked off didn't you?
I LOVE THIS I WATCHED IT A MILLION TIMES AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 2
I love the way she wide open her eyes and suddenly change to normal😅
She got moves and she even threw in a throwback to the original Wednesday. Jenna was able to keep that expression throughout the whole thing so that's impressive right there. I wonder if she burst into laughter when they got finished filming it.
That's a throwback from a whole 56 years ago!
She actually said she felt embarrassed about that coreography. She came up with it and felt really awkward after the performance. The guy told her it was actually impressive.
@@bachito1996 yeah she said Tim told her to do what she wanted with it.

Honestly this scene is the product of a good song choice, amazing acting, and great camera work blending seamlessly together.
The camera work in this show was honestly the weakest part, such repetitive, boring, subject centered shots, which is pretty disappointing considering the sets and atmosphere are interesting
Exactly what I thought. It resembled something that could be in the cartoons, it was a cute and a strange dance, like Wednesday. I really got that Tim Burton feel.

Not Gomez Addams.....he is the worst cast by far
@@carlosfong5434 Luis Guzman wouldnt be my first pick of casting as Gomez, but i think it worked for this show. hes a great actor and they made the addams family hispanic in this version so it works. Also he didnt have many scenes, but yeah hes definitly not the most handsome gomez. lol
What I love about this dance is you KNOW that the child of Morticia and Gomez Addams will know how to dance. They probably taught her to dance about an hour after she learned to walk, knowing those two. So she knows how to dance like a star, but still chooses to do the dance HER way, where she's not dancing with a partner, she's glaring AT a partner while she dances in her own unique way.
Yes i thought the same
She actually cherographed this herself
@@roadflame7772 they're not referring about Jenna Ortega herself, but they're talking about Wednesday. Morticia and Gomez always dance together, so they probably taught Wednesday how to dance
They also taught her to fence, fear nothing and be spooky and cooky.
Nah theyd get distracted going “oh gomez remember dancing in the catacombs of italy?” Or some shit and Wednesday would be staring like “🧍🏻 again these two make it abt them” and the teacher watches them dance flawlessly and with a giant flare of love and is in total awe while Wednesday goes off to play mortician and cadaver w her brother or something
When this was announced we all had really big doubts yes i did as well but Jenna Ortega absolutely smashed it as Wednesday Addams.
She killed those moves...it even fits in well with sweet but Psycho song 🎵 so perfectly
Despite her stoic nature it actually made a lot of sense to add this dance number in. I think this scene alone was truly illustrative of her character - the free minded individualism expressed in the social setting of conformity.
Yep, hopefully now people will understand that "individualism" is about respecting your own self, but its not the same as being selfish. Wednesday is such a great character cuz she doesnt bother with other people's opinions on herself, she's just confident in who she is.
bruh she just got stroke
@@thewholeworldblurred lmfao
You don't understand what stoicism is.
Plus her parents LOVE to dance so it makes sense that she would to!😊
I love how unsettling this dance is. Like Frankenstein's Monster she seems to piece parts of different dances together including incorporating her parents flair and style. My personal favourite bit is her tapping his shoulder and just looking at him slightly tilted. It's juat so smooth. A brilliant performance.
Exactly it's like a frankenstein type dance ...several dances stitched together
this is actually traditional goth dancing
Jenna herself came up with a dance that the whole world is crazy about🦹♀👏
If you saw her in Baby Sitter: Killer Queen sequel, you'd know Jenna was a natural for Wednesday.
I randomly saw this scene at a family gathering (never seen the show before) and immediately thought “Yeah this scene is going to be popular”
This show is such incredible proof of what acting can be done without saying a word. And even without facial expressions a lot of the time, this show works because it lets you imagine rather easily what Wednesday is thinking, it doesn't have to tell you or beat you over the head with it, you can tell when she wants to strangle someone or when she wants to roll her eyes even though she never does either. Ortega really did an incredible job portraying an awesome character. Show is being rightly praised and Wednesday was right.... the suspense is killing me.... Edit: I have a theory that this dance scene is the one having so much of a lasting impact on people is because its just like "Wednesday in one scene". And basically is a giant recap of what makes her great, its familiar and awesome but also sort of weird and out there, just like Wednesday herself.
And the new cosplay for OnlyFans was born!
You're maybe half right. There is a lot of narration during those "no dialogue" scenes you're thinking of. The show definitely over explains many details. We get a lot of internal monologues in this show because Wednesday doesn't verbalise her thoughts often.
Little did she know the dance scene would be a huge hit and start all kinds or trends. She executed it with perfection.
Sadly they never use the real song ;-;
For sure she knew. Almost all tik tok trends are marketing campaigns. Influencers paid by some sponsor always initiate, and the others copy. Often even memes are marketing campaigns, like it's morbin' time
Oh I think she knew. :)
She choreographed it herself as well! 🙂

Jenna Ortega is a 10/10 in this show. She is the perfect Wednesday Addams.
Christina Ricci has the same Wednesday Vibe but darker.
@@nanyunie Ricci Wednesday was easier to play IMO. A young child being dark can be brushed off as acting out for attention so it was easier for her to just do or say whatever she wanted. In Netflix show she is 16 there is more of a dynamic there. Mostly she is maturing as a person. She can't be that dark little girl anymore atleast not in the same way. I think Jenna did a great job.
Hahaha!!! No.
Actually it’s pretty much a destruction of the character and what Wednesday Addams was in the original show.
@@Go_away__ Get over it, Boomer
im so happy jenna ortega has been getting more recognition for her incredible acting
Me too
I used to watch her In stuck in the middle when she was 13 it’s crazy she wasn’t a huge child actor, she is amazing.
I hope nobody messes with the fact that your comment is standing at 666 likes.
I first watched her in You and she has been one of my favorites since. I caught up on some of her older works too. Really talented.
Look I’m no Jenna Ortega fan but this was definitely the best acting she’s done in her whole career. This was truly exeptional
I love you Wensday and I have the same dress and accessories
Give Jenna all the awards for choreographing and performing this scene! Honestly she did an amazing job portraying Wednesday, it's like she was born for this role. Can't wait for season 2
She made the choreography herseelf!!!?? Wow
@@euphoriaashoor7348 she did, and she said in the interview that she was embaraced by it. But it was actually a really good dance so she shouldn't be.
This was not good choreography… she can’t dance for shit
@@joeyfalcon1793 that's the point- wendsday only dance the way she likes to dance. If Jenna would have dance "normally" she wouldn't have been Wendsday, she would have been Morticia Addams. But Jenna danced like Wendsday really would have danced. If any other character would have done this dance it wouldn't have worked, this dance fit to Jenna's Wendsday and her only.
@@lili99941 it doesn’t matter. There are a million ways to be creepy and dance disturbingly with grace. This is stiff bs. I want you to pay attention and watch how this is NOT gonna get any nominations. It’s trash. And the academy will agree.
0:44 - 0:50 loved this scene so mucch. Cant believe she choreographed this dance few days before filming. Damn..... she even nailed the goth girl eye stare ... that can literally pierce people's heart with them P.S : go watch ' Wednesday dances with Bully Maguire ' XDD trusst me
not only you my fav part of her dance is this scene
Omg me eitherrr I was thinking that part is the best😂😂
Its the stare at 0:28 that gets me. Thats exactly how a goth girl stares at someone and I love it.
@@DoodlesGaming yeah
@@DoodlesGaming Goth's dont stare at people, we're not interested in you normies
Physically Surreal! This award worthy. conception and execution perfection
"You had me when you disappeared🔮&Then popped-up Behind me-BABY✨
I have binge watched all eight episodes today! Jenna Ortega is becoming the face of modern goth and horror. She is phenomenal once again. THE FINALE!? THE TWISTS!? One of the best final episodes that I have seen in a very long time. Everything was so satisfying! When Eugene said “bitch”. YES! SEASON TWO WHEN!? 🥺😭😍🖤👏🏻
🥷🤩YES
Agreed!!!! She needs all the awards!!!!!!!!!!
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
I want to see this series. Do I need to watch any prequel movie or series before watching it? p.s. I'm not much aware about this family and characters.
@@spammachinex no U dont
A) her ability to keep a straight face and the moves flowing together perfectly make this, and 2) the brief shoutout to the original Wednesday dance: heart eyes.
👧🏻
It’s called editing. There’s a thing called bloopers too.
@@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd Yeah, and her work still admirable. We are humans and we know that, we are not perfect, and her skills are still cool
I think she's a dark version of Ariana Grande
@@MacJuds it’s not about being perfect it’s about how movies are made, dumbass.
Fun fact. Lisa Loring was the original Wednesday in the original Addam’s Family.
Correction: Lisa Loring was the original Wednesday in the original Addams Family.
@@kyle1758 Ah yes I forgot.
0:39 l like how the guy looked directly into the camera for a split second
She played this part exceptionally. I watched this nonstop I could not turn it off until it was over. Hoping there is a sequel. Well done to the cast members and Tim Burton
Average mid show
I read that as "she slayed this part exceptionally"
Thn the legend, coupled with Jenna, the rising star 🌟!
That guy's eyeballs turn so big when he transforms.
@@Jamesroll5366 that must make you below average 😢
So many little iconic tips of the hat packed into one minute of dance. I'm impressed by her transitions from one to another, linear to vertical movements, mechanical to flowing, changing pace and mood with playful and horror tones, while maintaining really steady and intense eye acting. Resetting her position by dropping back into the 'Wednesday walk' and then flipping back into the dance is hilarious, just for that little moment of awkwardness. But the best thing is the contrast with EVERY OTHER STUDENT. Look at the rest of the students dance in the background. Wednesday is BY FAR the most animated and fun thing at the party, which is in direct contrast to what you'd expect of Wednesday, yet all that fun is nods to Goth and horror dances. Fantastically thought out and executed. Kudos to Jenna and the team.
Reminded me of Backstreet Boys EVERYBODY .. but a slower grimmer version 😂
You summed it up brilliantly.
Like some tragic gothic mating ritual, Jenna Ortega completely slayed this shit.
just shut up likle actault wtd
