The project created by Tim Burton puts the Addamses' daughter, Wandinha, in the spotlight. The Wednesday series – original name in English – follows the life of a student in a supernatural boarding school. She is enrolled by her mother to learn to control her powers and to live with people similar to her.
One of the most striking scenes in the series is when the protagonist is at a high school dance and does an exotic dance to the sound of a song that went viral on TikTok.

dance scene
In the fourth episode of the series, titled Woe What A Night, Wandinha and her colleagues participate in an annual dance, known as Rave'n. Jenna Ortega, the actress who plays the young woman, is being praised for her performance in the series and especially for the choreography of the dance that she herself improvised.
What is the song?
The soundtrack was due to the song Goo Goo Muck, by The Cramps. The song was released on the band's second album, 'Psychedelic Jungle'. As in the Stranger Things series, the song was once again a huge success even after years of its release, indicating the phenomenon that the Netflix series has become in such a short time.
Curiosity about the scene
In an interview with NME, Jenna Ortega said: “I choreographed this myself! I'm not a dancer and I'm sure that goes without saying. I had gotten the song about a week before and I just pulled from everything I could... it's crazy because it was my first day with Covid-19 so it was horrible filming."
Even though she was sick, the actress is being praised for her choreography in the episode. She even added that she could have made the scene even better if she was healthy, but the directors loved the result.
Ortega, on her Twitter, paid tribute to the artists who inspired her to do the dance: “Siouxsie Sioux, Bob Fosse’s Rich Man’s Frug, Lisa Loring, Lene Lovich, Denis Lavant, and archival footage of goths dancing in clubs in the 80s helped me in this”.
