We Can’t Stop Watching Kamila Valieva’s Figure Skating “Wednesday” Moves

As if the world wasn’t obsessed with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday dance enough, the parodies and adaptations. Among celebs and most of TikTok taking on the dance is European figure skating champion Kamila Valieva who translated Wednesday Addams’ iconic moves into a routine for the Russian Figure Skating Championships in December.

Not only did Kamila have someone stand in as Thing for the start of her routine, but she matched her look to Wednesday’s Nevermore dance outfit and included everything from the classic Wednesday shuffle to the now iconic “dancing with my hands” motions to her set.

Kamila’s skating was really set to three songs. Starting with Danny Elfman’s theme from Wednesday, Kamila’s routine then moved onto The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” and the TikTok famous sped-up version of Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary.” Her moves have, of course, taken ice skating fans and non-fans alike by storm.

While we add this to our list of favorite Wednesday-inspired videos, we can’t help but wonder where else this now-iconic choreography might end up. The dance floor, the ice, we’ll be hearing “Goo Goo Muck” everywhere before we know it.
