Recently, a 16-year-old Russian figure skater named Kamila Valieva joined the dance craze as she channeled Jenna Ortega on ice.
Her performance was well accepted by fans who were happy that someone did it while skating, since most of the dance videos posted on social media were really just similar to each other.
However, some people had complaints about the skater’s version, while others said they were tired of seeing similar videos popping up on their screens.
“Great with the cramps music why would you change it to a terrible song that doesn’t create the atmosphere at all,” one netizen complained.
“copyright laws. It’s so her routine can be shared on multiple social media,” another replied to the comment.
“If I were one of the judges, I’d give the skater negative marks for using the wrong song, plus I know figure skating is dancing on ice, but there is usually more skating than standing in place,” another commented.
“It was a great scene… but why does everybody need to recreate it? NOBODY can do it as good as ortega did,” another complained.
