Get ready to dance!

So, guess what? The new season of Wednesday is busting out some K-Pop moves that are so fresh, you might find yourself questioning your own dance skills. Yep, despite all the talk from the showrunners, Gough and Millar, about not repeating their first season’s viral dance moment, they totally flipped the script. The second season kicks off with a color explosion that could rival a bag of Skittles—sugar-coated and all!

Wednesday Gets a Glow-Up

In this new episode, we see Jenna Ortega (aka Wednesday) trading her iconic goth vibes for some pastel frolicking with co-star Emma Myers. Picture this: Wednesday smiling and grooving to K-Pop tunes like she’s at a demon-slaying dance party. Enid Sinclair, voiced by Myers, takes over the narration, showing us a side of Wednesday we never knew we needed—but trust us, it’s fabulous!

Dancing through the Darkness

One of the coolest things about this season is the introduction of some highly choreographed dance battles that reflect Enid’s quirky charm. Choreographer Corey Baker reveals it was a deliberate choice to stray from the earlier dance routines that made everyone squeal with delight. Instead, he wanted to craft something utterly original—because what’s the fun in following the same old script?

Working the Moves

While chatting with Baker, he recalls a moment on set where he jokingly pointed out to Jenna, “This is your fault!” after watching the dancers and crowd vibe together. The goal? To create something unique and captivating that shatters those expectations.

Two Totally Different Vibes

As Baker comments, “The character of Wednesday is all about that tension between being grounded yet totally relaxed.” Meanwhile, Enid is like a hyper unicorn, bursting with energy and sparkles. That dichotomy creates a visual delight that’s hard to look away from.

Friendship Goals!

The chemistry between Ortega and Myers shines through as they navigate these new dance sequences. Baker notes how well they know each other in real life—it’s like they’re dancing in perfect sync, just like their characters do. Talk about friendship goals!

The Big Dance Number

Now let’s talk about the grand finale dance-off that Baker crafted with Myers and co-star Evie Templeton. He spent weeks fine-tuning what he calls Enid’s spiritual heir to season one’s rhythm. This dance? A mashup of styles that represents who Enid is—ballet, jazz, a sprinkle of stunts, you name it! It’s not just a dance; it’s a rollercoaster of emotions!

On the Edge of Fabulous

What’s better? The only note Baker received for this dance was not to make it Broadway-perfect—how liberating! He told us that it’s all about joy and embracing free movement, letting the characters truly express themselves. And boy, do they deliver!

K-Pop Meets Addams

In a delightful twist, even Thing—the lovable appendage—got in on the dance action! Baker worked closely with the performer, and they conjured up a choreography that would make any golden retriever proud. With Baker even filming his own hand movements for inspiration, they’ve added a layer of fun that makes the big dance number truly unforgettable!

Ready for More?

As we gear up for more moves in season three, we can’t help but wonder: how will they top these fabulous grooves? One thing’s for certain—Wednesday and her friends are here to shake things up, one dance at a time!
