Dirty Dancing (1987)

It's the summer of 1963, and the Houseman family is planning a relaxing holiday at a vacation camp. At first, 17-year-old Frances (Jennifer Grey), also known as Baby, is a bit bored. But this changes immediately when she meets the attractive dance instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). When the dancer's former partner gets pregnant, Baby organises the money for the abortion, and even steps in as a dance partner. However, to properly learn the Mambo, Baby first has to take many private lessons from the king of hip swingers...
