Wednesday stars sent in 'incredible competition tapes' for 'absolutely bizarre' season 2 dance

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Wednesday.

Wednesday fans have once again been given a musical treat but this time around, it’s got nothing to do with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams.

Three years ago, Wednesday on Netflix became a global phenomenon and one particular scene which stood out among the rest was Wednesday’s (played by Jenna Ortega) dance to The Cramps’ Goo Goo Muck.

Wednesday went viral with subscribers eager to learn the dance themselves, so it didn’t come as too much of a surprise when the darkly comic drama was renewed.

The second half of season two features the Nevermore Academy gala and it is here that another dance spectacle takes place but it is very different in comparison to Ortega’s routine.

Opening up to Screen Time, choreographer Corey Baker explained the thought process behind this series’ “big number”.

He shared: “If you were to compare it to season one, it is sort of ‘the thing’ of the season.

“It is a dance between Enid (Emma Myers) and Agnes (Evie Templeton) and it’s absolutely bizarre.

“The task was, they dance at a ball and here’s an incredible piece of music, here’s some great costumes, this needs to happen while the dance is happening.

“It needs to be Tim’s [Burton] aesthetic, it needs to be Wednesday’s world, these were all of the ingredients that I was given.

“To make it not feel like the first dance or anything to do with it, Jenna’s [Ortega] not in it so Wednesday doesn’t do the dance, it’s really Enid’s.

“So the question was, how does Enid dance? What would she look like, how does she move?

“And because she is, in my head, the embodiment of ADHD, it was really fun to think about.

“I don’t think it’s one style, I think it’s a hybrid of lots of different things, things that she loves, Thing that she loves and dance moves that she loves and put them together to make sense of some sort of mish-mashy choreographic style.”

In preparation for filming, Baker wanted to get a better understanding of the stars’ dancing capabilities and thankfully, he was impressed by what he saw.

Baker continued: “I asked for videos of them dancing before this so I could place out markers and both of them are incredible dancers.

“They sent me competition videos of them dancing as teenagers, Evie is still a teenager.

“And I was like ‘great!’. So we could have probably done it a lot harder and made it even more intense because of their incredible capability but we sort of hit the mark where we are because of a number of things.

“We made it, I taught it to Emma and Evie and they definitely brought elements of nuance to it, just how their character might do it.”

What also made this season’s dance different to series one was the fact that there was also a “magical” part to the routine.

Baker said: “There was an element to the dance where there’s a big magical stunt, that was tricky.

“Agnes’ magical ability is that she disappears so she disappears during the dance a handful of times while lifting Emma.

“So that was quite challenging and took a lot of science to figure out how do we do that and how do we shoot it, how does it work, we can’t tell because it needs to go to post-production for a long time.

“We had to do a separate little shoot for that section but the main choreography was quite simple.”

Wednesday is available to watch on Netflix.
