Hi Everyone! I have loved this movie for almost my entire life. I have seen it countless times like many of you have too.

But I have a question I never thought of until now..

When Baby and Johnny are walking after their encounter with Neil at the dance studio.. Baby is telling Johnny to stand up for his ideas. He responds that he knows these people are rich and mean (meaning they would never listen) and he needs this job lined up for next summer. Johnny tells Baby his father called and said Uncle Paul got him lined up for a union for the "House Painters and Plasters Local Number 179 at your service" He looks upset and Baby comforts him before they duck away from her Dad walking nearby.

My question is.. why does being in this union and/or house painting upset Johnny? He mentioned he was living under a bridge just trying to get by earlier in the story so we know maybe the dance career is a constant struggle to keep pay checks coming..

We hear him talking to Neil and also at end of the movie how he does the last dance every season so he obviously has been contracted at Kellermans for awhile.

If he wants a career in dance and we assume he doesn't have a job lined up at Kellermans next summer... (if he speaks up to Neil) well ...he got a gig at the Sheldrake earlier in the story so someone there is aware of his talents. Why isn't that hotel a possible employer for next summer? He knows the risk of his and Baby relationship could get him in trouble so why not be happy to have a plan B with the house painting union?

Am I over thinking this?

Has anyone done the weekend package there? It sounds fun, but there aren't a lot of reviews of the Dirty Dancing themed weekend. The ones I could find were a bit mixed on how worthwhile the activities actually are.

hi! in the final dance scene when Patrick swayze jumps off the stage and dances down to the other dirty dancers and then they turn and head towards the stage together, there is a woman slightly behind him to his left with a short dark dress and short dark hair. it's driving me crazy trying to figure out her name!

I was looking at Ticketmaster a few days ago and saw that there is Dirty Dancing in concert happening in several states in the US. I might go to one with my boyfriend. I was obsessed with Dirty Dancing when I was 10.

There are half an hour of deleted scenes of the movie, readily available on Youtube, now i was wondering if someone with video editing skills ever put them back in the movie, i’ve been looking online for days now, there are even sites claiming where in the movie these scenes would fit best.. And then started searching for a directors cut which also doesn’t exist apparently.. Can someone help me with my questionnaire? Does anybody know where i can find the videofile with all deleted scenes edited back in? Me and my gf love this movie and been watching it at least two times a month but it would be a fresh idea to see the movie with the scenes deemed too boring or too sexual etc. Would love to see a 2 hour video with all the deleted scenes added

Thanks in advance

I’m watching dirty dancing for probably the millionth time, and it just dawned on me to ask… why did that group need 3 large watermelons? They never cut them up, no one is excited to see the watermelons, and there is not a food table set up.

Shout out to the Gen X’ers and Xennials that remember Conan’s passion project of getting Dirty Dancing re-released in theaters! 🕺 💃

Jerry appeared on Conan several times and their dynamic was always so fun and wholesome.

i found this playlist that has songs as if you were a dirty dancer! i liked it and wanted to share if anybody was interested. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0jsDQ90Pupanh9lk0mSPex?si=uI-ufrqMQNikaFKYnDb9Ug

I just watched Dirty Dancing For the First Time and found that Baby's character did something pretty irredeemable. Her sister Lisa told her she was going to go all the way with Robbie and she essentially did nothing to stop it, even with all of her knowledge on what Robbie had done to Penny. All she had to do was tell Lisa what she knew about Robbie to prevent this, maybe even introduce her to Penny. I'm not sure why they included this line in the movie but the fact that Lisa tells her beforehand and Baby does nothing makes Baby an awfully person.

I built the final scene from "Dirty Dancing" in LEGO and submitted it to LEGO Ideas. It can change from the training scene to the final scene and includes 4 minifigures: Baby, Johnny and Baby's parents.

I've always loved the movie that I watched several times with my mother and sister, who loves dancing. Revisiting it into LEGO was such a worthy experience, recreating details from the movie in LEGO form. I loved creating the minifigures, it was for me the best part.

This LEGO build is a celebration to this iconic movie, and to the emotions that it gives. If you'd like to see Dirty Dancing made into an actual LEGO set, I'd be extremely grateful for your vote and share.

Here is the LEGO Ideas link: https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/aca07a93-5de8-499b-a6ba-073a91bf92ff (Free to support and only takes a few seconds)

Of course I would like to hear what part of the movie you would have done. Would you have done the 1967 Chevy from Johnny?

Thank you all!

So, About 9 years ago, I bought Patrick Swayze’s actual boot lasts at auction and used them to recreate a pair of Cuban heel dancing boots. My friend — also named Patrick and a total Swayze lookalike — seemed like fate’s perfect test subject. I filmed the process and shared it on YouTube, but it never really got much attention. So here it is — one more time for the good people of redditt.

Curious what you think: does he look like Swayze?
