The classic story is back on stage: Dirty Dancing. Emotion, sensational dancing and music are filling theatres across the United Kingdom in a show that has been seen by millions across the world.

Two young spirits join the stage to provide a retelling of their magical summer together.

The two come together in a performance that spans 35 hit songs which include all of your favorites, including “Hey Baby” and “Hungry Eyes.”

The performance starts in the summer of 1963 when Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman is about to learn about the world of dance. Baby, just 17 years old, joins her parents and sister in New York’s Catskill Mountains. The teen, not interested in many of the activities that the resort has to offer, finds an all-night dance party that changes her life forever.

Raunchy and sexual dance moves are on display with music pumping in the background.

Eager to join in on the fun, she meets Johnny, the dance instructor at the resort which turns a boring summer holiday into an event that the world will remember forever. The two have an undeniable chemistry that leads the two on a journey that ignites a flame inside both of them. Dance pushes Baby and Johnny to take their relationship on and off the stage.
