We won’t lie; the dance is quite rad-looking, and Ortega apparently drew inspiration from a lot of gothic choreography when creating it. The internet is currently in awe of a Russian figure skater who recreated the dance.

Kamila Valieva commanded the ice stage with her flawless dance moves. Similar black clothing with tulle accents was on her person. While skating around the stage, Valieva was observed mastering the oddball choreography. On YouTube, the amazing footage was uploaded.

When loosely translated from Russian, the description stated, “Kamila Valieva is already used to stunning fans of figure skating with demonstrative numbers, and this time she did not change herself—an incendiary performance accompanied by compositions from the popular TV series Wednesday.”

 

Over 1.9 million people have watched the video, and there have been many comments. People remarked on how difficult it is to perform the choreography while skating on ice and expressed their utter admiration for the choreography. Many people remarked on how perfectly Valieva captured Ortega’s facial expressions in the film.
