Dance the Bloody Mary!

INTERMEDIATE

A popular dance from the Wednesday Addams series to a Lady Gaga song!

ADVANCED - Teaching

I grew up loving the Addams Family movies and my daughter loved them too from a young age. The prom dance from the show (choreographed by the actress herself) was immensely popular when married with Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary song. Though a little creepy in atmosphere there is nothing actually scary or inappropriate in this scene, but maybe avoid if your students are particularly sensitive (I've never had a problem yet with this). The character of Wednesday is, in my opinion, one of the strongest female characters to have come out of recent popular culture, and a champion for those who unapologetically want to live their lives in a non-conformist manner. The dance is not too challenging and is quite doable for my 7-8 year olds. Remember dance is a sneaky shortcut to great body language later which is VERY powerful! Make sure to emphasise the black things around Wednesday (the bl we are teaching!).
