The duo have revealed that they made some changes to the original choreography.

The Wednesday star told NME: “You (Catherine) were the inspiration behind the performance art aspect of it. I think it read on the page as a proper dance, and you sparked an idea.”

The Schitt's Creek star added: “I wanted the more… illogical to my mind… dance moves that kind of mean nothing in all modern… not all modern dance, modern dance is amazing.”

“We were in a tent right off set and we were like, ‘Oh it’s funny when you do that,'” Ortega shared.

Catherine added that Jenna then “laid down on the floor and did” a dramatic pose, and they “went for it”.
