The new take on "The Addams Family" focuses directly on the daughter of the family, Wednesday, played by Jenna Ortega. The show has made waves worldwide, with many obsessed with this renewal of gothic aesthetic on Netflix.

In particular, the "Wednesday dance" has taken the world by storm; when attending her school's dance, she performs an awkward yet captivating dance in front of her classmates. This has become viral, with many reenacting it on TikTok.
