Secrets of Dirty Dancing

Party all day and night

Despite the talk of some ups and downs between the cast on the set of Dirty Dancing, the general atmosphere was one filled with fun and laughter. It was said that it constantly felt like a party and everyone on set was eager to join in with the dancing whenever possible.

The dance rehearsals turned into discos and the cast and crew brought in the booze, had a drink and let loose when it was all done. Before scenes were even shot, this became an excellent way for the cast and crew to bond. This was the first instance of improvisation which was later encouraged throughout the film.
