    Everyone wanted to dance with John Travolta, but I always preferred(dreamed) to dance with Patrick Swayze. Travolta is cool, while Swayze was dreamy.. there's nothing like a good dance lead.. controlling your body like that lol. And yes, Patrick Swayze was a classically trained dancer. His mother owned a ballet studio, and his wife also danced professionally. Ballet dance, I believe. Ghost and Outsiders are 2 favorite Patrick movies.. and I also recommend St. Elmos Fire and Flashdance.. xo great reaction!

    One Patrick Swayze film that I liked is "The Outsiders," based on the S.E. Hinton novel. It also has a young Tom Cruise in it, when both were right at the beginning of their careers, and Emilio Estevez as well (the jock from The Breakfast Club). Most of the cast ended up going on to have major success.

    This movie tends to get dismissed as a fluffy romance, but it's dealing with some heavy issues. Classism, the sexism of the early 60s and the most pivotal plot point hinges on an illegal abortion. Frighteningly relevant in the wake of Roe v Wade being reversed. Fun to watch, but more depth than it gets credit for.

      There's yet another underlying but unstated social theme of the movie: antisemitism. The story is set in a "Borscht Belt" resort in the Catskills, one of a series of lavish resorts operated by and for Jews who were not welcome at other resorts. An unfortunate side effect of the acceptance and integration of Jews into the broader American society is virtually all the Borscht Belt resorts went out of business. Many still stand to this day as abandoned, skeletal relics of our nation's unsavory past.

It's set in pre-WWII Germany and stars Liza Minelli, (won for best actress) Michael York, and Joel Grey (Won for best-supporting actor.) Joel Grey is Jennifer Grey's father. I haven't seen many RUclipsrs react to it and it's incredibly worth it.

    Jennifer Grey can actually dance, and came from a song and dance family, most famously her father Joel Grey. Jerry Orbach is most known for playing Detective Lenny Briscoe for years on Law and Order, and also as Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. My favorite Patrick Swayze movie is Point Break, where he plays a morally ambiguous character so wonderfully.

    Hands And Knees Fact: The very famous scene where Johnny and Baby are practicing their dancing and they are crawling towards each other on the floor wasn't intended to be part of the film; they were just messing around and were warming up to do the real scene, but director Emile Ardolino liked it so much, he kept it in the film.
    Music Enthusiast Fact: The song "She's Like The Wind" was co-written by Patrick Swayze with Stacy Widelitz and sung by Patrick Swayze himself.

    Yes, Patrick Swayze was a trained dancer. His mom ran a dancing school, at which he was a student, (and I think he may have taught too, when he got older). He pursued multiple artistic and athletic skills, such as ice skating, classical ballet, and acting in school plays. He also played football during high school, hoping to receive a football scholarship for college, until a knee injury ended his football career. He concurrently practiced martial arts such as Wushu, Taekwondo, and Aikido. In 1972, he moved to New York City to complete his formal dance training at the Harkness Ballet and Joffrey Ballet schools.

    Patrick Swayze's mom was a dance teacher so he basically grew up in a dance studio. Both he and Cynthia Rhodes were professional dancers as well as actors. Also, they basically filmed the dance scenes in this movie in sequence order so you are actually watching Jennifer Grey go from promising amateur to decent dancer in real time.

    I think Baby’s dad gets misunderstood for his reaction to Penny’s abortion. He asked if Baby was doing anything illegal. Abortion was illegal at that time, and she lied to her father. On top of that, as a doctor he knows what can happen when you deal with a back alley butcher like the one who did Penny’s abortion. As a physician he was horrified at what had transpired and that his daughter was part of it in any way. The man took an oath, and I truly feel he was shaken both as a physician of that era and a father.

Please watch him in the movie Ghost with Demi Moore. He made that movie a couple of years after Dirty Dancing, and it’s the highest grossing of about 20 movies he made. A hilarious one to watch is when he plays a drag queen in “To Wong Fu. thanks for everything. Julie Newmar.” I enjoyed your commentary.

    First, yes, Patrick Swayze (RIP) had formal dance training. He's probably best known for the movies Roadhouse (1989) and Ghost (1990) but if you ever read The Outsiders by S E Hinton you might enjoy the movie adaptation.from 1983. It has Patrick Swayze as well as a LOT of (at the time) very young future Hollywood stars.
    Secondly, the resort getaway was a thing back in the late 50s/early 60s. Many catered to Jewish white collar, professional or business owners who would get out of the summer heat in (primarily) New York City and head for the Adirondack or Pocono mountains to one of these family resorts. The men would network and play golf, the wives didn't have to cook during the holiday and the kids would ride horses, swim, etc.

    Patrick Swayze's mother owned a dance studio so he started dancing when he was really young. He had a knee injury while playing football in school that made that final dance really difficult on him physically.

    Patrick Swayze was a trained dancer, having grown up at his mother’s studio. He and his wife were also dance partners. May he RIP. Cynthia Rhodes, the female dance lead, is also a professional dancer and had a main part in the movie “Flashdance” from the same time. Lastly, Patrick and Jennifer acted together in “Red Dawn” of the early 80s, prior to this movie, where they notoriously didn’t get along.

    This was actually filmed in 3 months, the bits of when she laughs that actually happened…he was more of a dancer, they didn’t get on….the lift in water and log and that was actually them practice lift and when they did lift it was first time. I learnt all this from people (celebs) who did learning the dances. And also the scene where she crawled singing that was practising for dancing and they kept scene in. Cynthia Rhodes was wife of Richard Marx.

    You have to see the movie American Graffiti (1973)!

    Would love to hear your commentary on the cars! But it will be your greatest editing challenge, the radio is playing in the background (sometimes forefront) the entire film.
    Good Morning Vietnam (1987 comedy/drama starring Robin Williams) is another great movie with a great soundtrack! I had the audio cassette of it as a teen and it was in my Walkman all the time!
    Searching for Bobby Fisher (1993) is the best chess movie of all time!
    Rounders (1998) is the best poker movie.
    Clue (1985) is the best ever movie based on a board game.

    Well now that you know Patrick and Jennifer, you gotta watch Red Dawn,,, the 1984 film. Not the new remake abomination they came out with a few years ago.
    edit: Couple facts about the movie.
    Jennifer Grey almost got hypothermia during the water lift scene.
    Patrick is a professional dancer.
    Patrick and Jennifer pretty much couldn't stand eachother.
    The scene wear he was tickling her wasn't supposed to be in the movie. Patricks resigned looks were real. He was tired of Jens crap. They left it in.
    Their animosity toward each other started when they were in Red Dawn together.
    edit 2: Patrick's break out role was The Outsiders. Another great movie. You probably read the book.
