About
As of 2026, it's 39 years old.
Dirty Dancing is a summer-romance phenomenon built around a girl named Baby, a dance instructor with remarkable abdominal definition, and the immortal command that nobody puts Baby in a corner. It became a surprise smash and a permanent staple of every cable-TV Sunday afternoon.
'I carried a watermelon,' the final lift, and that soundtrack turned it into the dance movie by which all others are judged.
Romantic, nostalgic, and impossibly rewatchable, Dirty Dancing is the film that taught a generation both the cha-cha and the unwise wisdom of resort-summer romance.
