Re-live your Dirty Dancing fantasy

You’ve watched the film, seen the West End musical, sung along to the soundtrack CD and, this autumn you can watch Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life reality dancing show on Living TV on Wednesdays at 9pm. But for real die-hard fans of this cult coming-of-age film it’s now possible to experience the real thing with a Dirty Dancing weekend at the Mountain Lake Hotel, Virginia, USA – which featured as Kellerman’s in the movie.

This specially-themed package is loaded with fun Dirty Dancing-focused activities. To get you in the mood, it kicks off with a light-hearted trivia quiz. Do you know what type of fruit ‘Baby’ carried in the film or what the Schumacher’s stole? If you know the answers to these questions, you would definitely enjoy a Dirty Dancing weekend! You will then tour the hotel and grounds, visiting the gazebo and pool where the famous ‘lake lift’ scene was filmed.

Then it’s time to put on your dancing shoes and Capri pants and enjoy group dancing lessons, where you’ll learn to salsa, tango and meringue. You can book private dance lessons for just £12 for 30-minutes and, if you close your eyes, you will even be able to imagine you’re dancing with Patrick Swayze!
