Dirty Dancing
A sheltered teenager is drawn into a resort's dance world.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
In the summer of 1963, Frances 'Baby' Houseman arrives at Kellerman's resort with her family and becomes fascinated by dance instructor Johnny Castle and the staff's after-hours world. When she agrees to train as Johnny's replacement partner for an important performance, their rehearsals develop into a romance that crosses the resort's divisions of age, class and expectation.
In the room
The story is carried by extended partner-dance sequences and a soundtrack of early-1960s pop, soul and rhythm and blues, with the romance developing through rehearsal.
Good fit if you like
summer romances, social-class tension, partner dancing and 1960s pop.
