Dirty Dancing
First dance. First love. The time of your life.
Directed by Emile Ardolino
Produced by Great American Films Limited Partnership, Vestron Pictures
A joyful coming-of-age romance centered on dance, sensuality, and the transformative power of first love across class lines.
Expecting the usual tedium that accompanies a summer in the Catskills with her family, 17-year-old Frances 'Baby' Houseman is surprised to find herself stepping into the shoes of a professional hoofer—and unexpectedly falling in love.
