Gina Ortega choreographed the viral “Wednesday” in two days

She learned to dance, dance and dance with her hands in two days.

Jenna Ortega revealed on Friday during an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” that her currently smashing dance from the Netflix series “Wednesday” took two days to choreograph.

“[Director Tim Burton] He came to my trailer two days before we shot it and we said, ‘Hey Gina, so I know you said you wanted to choreograph this yourself,'” said Ortega, who’s 20. He was like, ‘I know you’ve 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, everything is fine. “

The dance appears in The Addams Family revue with the “Scream” star dancing – while on a standstill – to The Cramps’ 1981 song “Goo Goo Muck”.

According to Ortega, there was only one misstep.

“I never got over it,” Ortega admitted. “I was playing the cello that week, fencing that week. I didn’t have time… Oh my God, I was kicking myself. I felt like an idiot.”

Ortega revealed afterwards that she watched “anything I could get my hands on” to get inspiration for the dance.

“Netflix, they were saying to me, ‘Oh, you know, Gina, this is going to be a TikTok thing. And I thought, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, whatever,” Ortega joked. “I thought, you know, they’re excited. They are exaggerated. And then they were right.”

“Wednesday” is currently streaming on Netflix.
