Wikipedia

Dirty Dancing is a 1987 romantic film made in the United States. Written by Eleanor Bergstein and directed by Emile Ardolino, the film features Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Cynthia Rhodes, and Jerry Orbach. The story is a coming of age drama that documents a teenage girl's rebellion against her father by starting a relationship with a dance instructor during the family's summer vacation. Almost a third of the film involves dancing scenes choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who would later go on to direct the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical.
