Summary: Dirty Dancing, written by Eleanor Bergstein.  Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle and Jennifer Grey as Frances “Baby” the leading roles in the movie. A story about a teenage girl who falls in love with a dance instructor at the resort they are staying at while her and her family is on vacation in the mountains in New York. Baby is a sweet daddy’s girl and is expected to go onto college and then marry a doctor just like her father. Unexpectedly, things don’t go as planned. She gets her fathers to help Johnny’s dance partner that suffers from abortion. Baby helps Johnny and becomes his dance partner while the girl recovers.  Baby’s dad then finds out what baby has been up to and forbids her to have any association with “those people.” They prove to her father that her little daughter is now growing up.

Summer romance is always an unforgettable experience and a memory we hold dearly in our hearts. Dirty Dancing, provides us with a romantic encounter with a New Yorker, 17-year-old girl who falls in love with the dance instructor that works in the hotel they are currently stabilized in. The film shows how the socioeconomic tension intervenes with people feeling comfortable sharing what they feel for one another. This is a big issue now days. People get this negative vibe and look of Johnny because his dancer and rides a motorcycle. Sometime they are just seen as the bad guys.  Therefore, this movie does a spectacular way of displaying how some cases can really be and sometimes the economic status can really take over and people will judge you just for it. Their incorporation of the dance parts to the film strengthens it; however, did not take the spotlight of the summer romance. The setting of the movie gets the reader of the mind set that the family are there for vacations and makes it seem really credible.

When the dancers are dancing it makes you feel like you are there right at that moment watching them swing from one side to the next. The Dominant role was Johnny. It focused on how he taught baby how to dance and how that experienced led to love. Johnny was very loved by woman but he couldn’t care less and his role empowers that. His confidence in this film makes the movie really interesting. The dance parts are really entertaining but some times it was to repetitive. I give this movie four stars. The constant change of how people change for love and make people see that everything is real is just fulfilling. At the end her family acknowledges that what they had was real.
