No. Way. Whoa!
DIRTY DANCING TURNS 39 TODAY!
Starring Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle and Jennifer Grey as Frances “Baby” Houseman, the film gave us romance, incredible dancing, a brilliant soundtrack, and one of the most memorable movie couples of the decade.
Set during the summer of 1963, the story follows Baby as she falls for dance instructor Johnny while vacationing with her family at a Catskills resort.
Nearly four decades later, Dirty Dancing remains one of the most loved movies of the ’80s.
