LETS GET DIRTY!
We're Dividing our special in two with our first part remembering the feature film and part two is all about the stage musical

This is a coming of age love story involving the talented and headstrong dancer Johnny Castle (Patrick Sayze) and Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey).
During her family’s summer vacation at the popular Kellerman’s resort, Baby, a doctor’s daughter with dreams of joining the Peace Corps, meets Johnny, the guy from the wrong side of the tracks. Against all odds, they fall in love, learning life-changing lessons along the way

These were the moves on the nightclub floor in 88
ten years on from Grease which tapped into the 50s teen dream as an antidote to punk rock.
Dirty Dancing was the natural successor as a foil to the New Romantics Synth Bands.
A grittier more up to date film for the 80s market but the Grease effect was back.
Hungry eyes was requested usually by the girl who was sending out the biggest hint possible to some fella who was missing all the obvious signals. Dedicated by her to him the Dj had to be careful and coax him out from the undergrowth near the bar .If you laid it on too heavy he'd take to flight like a scared rabbit but you had to make it clear to him it's time get over there now and dance her "ya big eejit".
There really was a special chemistry between between Jennifer and Patrick.That x factor that glows
on screen and they just had it in heaps.
