the dance “has everyone losing it” says cosmopolitan. it’s all over tiktok, twitter users are fully obsessed, lady gaga shouted it out, and north west even made a tiktok doing the dance! it’s a real phenomenon

daily beast says the dance scene is the moment the show actually “becomes great”

it’s all the more impressive considering star jenna ortega actually choreographed the whole dance herself, in less than 2 days -- insider

mashable thinks the whole thing is downright perfect -- one giant tribute to 80s dance, the wednesdays of yesteryear, and wednesday’s heritage

the mary sue is fully obsessed: from ortega’s moves and expressions, to the outfits, to the music choice, everything about the scene is just perfection

and it almost didn’t happen! screenrant reports the original plan for the scene was a flash mob. thank god jenna ortega stepped in and proposed a change, she really saved the scene
