Have you ever tried 'the lift'?

 

We fell in love at their first kiss. 

 

Fall in love again as you relive the timeless love story of Baby and Johnny as Dirty Dancing In Concert heads to Australia & NZ next month in a live concert screening.

 

Set in the summer of 1963, Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) and her family vacation to the beautiful Catskills resort, Kellerman’s Mountain House. Intrigued by the staff’s dance instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), and the vastly different lifestyle of others, Baby finds herself learning to dance while having the time of her life and falling in love. It becomes a summer she never forgets.

 

Audiences attending Dirty Dancing in Concert will experience the hit film in a unique and unforgettable way. A complete screening of the digitally remastered film will play as a band and singers perform the songs live, in sync with the film. Stay for the encore party and continue to sing and dance along with the band to your favorite songs featured in Dirty Dancing

 

 Just the LIFT you and your followers need this spring.
