Dirty Dancing (1987)

The film that introduced a generation to Mambo and made "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" a cultural touchstone.

Dirty Dancing is a 1987 dance feature film centred on Club Latin, American Rhythm. For dancers, it's a chance to see these styles performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.
