"Dirty Dancing" is a 1987 American romantic drama film directed by Emile Ardolino and written by Eleanor Bergstein. The film stars Jennifer Grey as Frances "Baby" Houseman, a young woman who falls in love with a dance instructor, played by Patrick Swayze, while on holiday with her family at a Catskills resort. The film's iconic soundtrack, featuring songs such as "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," helped make it a commercial and critical success. It has since become a cult classic.
