The Real Dirty Dancing

I was so happy to see this made. I found myself smiling, laughing, and crying at moments throughout the 4 episodes. I love how they blended scenes from the original movie and seeing how the celebrities progressed. Plan on watching "Dirty Dancing" after the finally. :)

Thirty-five years after the original release of "Dirty Dancing", some of us still watch the story of Johnny and Baby periodically. This new competition show is for such fans.

Eight contestants of varying celebrity compete in the re-creation of scenes from the iconic movie. The competition is held on the grounds where the movie was filmed---at "Kellerman's". If there is discussion in the first episode about what goes to the winner(s), I missed it. But that is not important. This series is about reliving and relishing the film. Fortunately, it is liberally sprinkled with clips from the film.

Patrick Swayze is no longer with us, and Jennifer Grey has moved on to a new visage, facially. But we can celebrate their original performances with this tribute show.

After the first competition, it is clear that there is no lack of passion by the contestants. And some of them have real skills. I look forward to watching them attempt to dance on the log or do the lift in the lake.

First of all the resort is just outside of Pembroke, Virgina and everything but the lake lifting was filmed there. The lake lifting was filmed in North Carolina. This show is adorable.

I rated the movie a 10 and called it the ultimate feel good movie and said that any reviewer who did not feel the same was a troll. This tv show presents a totally unique concept and pulls it off admirably. Beyond words. It is the most fantastic and feel good tv show I've watched in 70 years of being a tv junkie. The most very mostest best!!!!!

We have a summer home neare Lake Lure. DIrty Dancing was filmed at Lake Lure, NC, and the hotel burned down after the movie became a hit. This series has nothing relatively close to the NC site. True DD fans are shaking their heads in dismay...
