We started off at Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia. Take a trip down memory lane Mountain Lake Lodge Dirty Dancing Locations – A must on our Tourĭirty Dancing scenes where filmed in two locations – Mountain Lake Lodge in Southwest Virginia and at Lake Lure in Western North Carolina.
Just look at that scene were she is in stitches as he runs his hand down her armpit. Jennifer Grey, however wasn’t a trained dancer, so it’s thought Patrick Swayze got frustrated with her when she didn’t get the moves right first time. He Began dancing at his mum Patsy’s dance school in Texas, Tennessee.
“Don’t put your heel down, don’t put your heel down.”Įven though Patrick and Jennifer didn’t hit it off right away, the producers thought they had more chemistry than Billy and Jennifer. How could you not be gripped! The castĭid you know Billy Zane was actually first choice to play Johnny Castle?! (Check out his audition)! Even Val Kilmer was considered, as well as Sarah Jessica Parker for Baby! In my humble opinion the producers definitely made the right choice, with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. The 1960’s setting, the cheesy talent show, where Baby’s sister, Lisa plays Hula Hana – hilarious! Penny’s ‘problem’, the ‘I carried a watermelon’ scene, the dancing, the tunes and off course the romance between Johnny and Baby. So much fun! Except when Knox hurt his back that is! Oops 🙊 These two rock n rollers one first prize! There’s always a limbo stick, or a broom when we forget the actual limbo stick!
