Dirty Dancing

Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) es un experto profesor de baile y un amante consumado. Por su parte, Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) es una aburrida e inocente adolescente de 17 años. Un verano se conocen en el balneario donde él trabaja. Aunque pertenecen a clases sociales muy distintas, cuando la música suena y bailan al ritmo del dirty dancing, las diferencias que los separan desaparecen.

Una película que marcó a toda una generación y llevó a la fama a Patrick Swayze. Obtuvo un gran éxito de taquilla, gracias a la música ochentera y las estupendas coreografías. La canción 'The time of my life', de su banda sonora ganó un Oscar y un Globo de Oro.

TRAILER

In the 1960s, Frances "Baby" Houseman, a sweet daddy's girl, goes with her family to a resort in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. Baby has grown up in privileged surroundings and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny, a man whose background is vastly different from her own. Baby lies to her father to get money to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny's dance partner (Johnny is not the father). She then fills in as Johnny's dance partner and it is as he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby gets her father, who saves the girl's life. He then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse - that he funded the illegal abortion...
