Where To Watch Dirty Dancing Online

Fans of the Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey romantic dance drama will be pleased to know that there are some options to watch Dirty Dancing online. Premiering in theaters on August 21, 1987, Dirty Dancing immediately captured the American consciousness with its heart, fantastic characters, and, of course, excellent choreography. A quintessential coming-of-age movie, Dirty Dancing earned a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes, $214 million at the box office (via BoxOfficeMojo), an Academy Award, four nominations at the Golden Globes with one win, and two Grammy nominations with one win.

The film was, and remains, a critical piece of popular culture, and it’s not just because of Dirty Dancing‘s fantastic soundtrack. Swayze stars as Johnny Castle, a dance instructor at a vacation resort who catches the attention of Frances “Baby” Houseman. So begins a love story between two young people, kept apart by one’s family. It’s a classic and arguably made Swayze and Grey’s careers afterward. Whether viewers come for the sizzling chemistry, relatable summer setting, or incredible dancing, there’s always a good reason to watch Dirty Dancing.
