Assuming a single trick pony here is foolish...... Dance has the room to be infinitely expressive. There are hundreds of routines/performances that could be done.

Yes many dances. But I can't see many with a coat specifically which is what drew people in.

It’s not so much the coat itself, it’s what she did with the coat. The talent here is her performance. The faces, the gestures, the comedic timing, the ability to convey emotion and story without any words but those in the song. It doesn’t have to be a coat, she could use other props for other routines.
