DID YOU KNOW?
— Filming started for Dirty Dancing on September 5, 1986, and lasted just 43 days.
-- The Movie Almost Had a Completely Different Name
Back when the film first came out in the late 1980s, the title Dirty Dancing was a tad scandalous. The title became such an issue that censorship officers were hesitant and assumed it was an "adult film".
Thank goodness this was the chosen title given that the alternative was “I Was a Teenage Mambo Queen.” The studio stuck to their guns, and Dirty Dancing was born. Patrick Swayze, on the other hand, despised the film name.
— Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey Weren’t First Picks for Lead Roles
Can you imagine Dirty Dancing without Jennifer Grey or Patrick Swayze? It’s absurd to even TRY.
Outrageous as it may sound, these two weren’t actually the first choices for the film. Val Kilmer was initially offered the role of Johnny Castle, and both Sarah Jessica Parker and Sharon Stone auditioned to play Baby.
— It Wasn’t Summer When They Were Filming
When you watch the film, you may feel a nostalgic twinge inside that reminds you of summers during your youth. You’ll probably be surprised to find that it was absolutely freezing outside during the filming of the movie. The movie was filmed during a cold autumn in Virginia and North Carolina.
To create the feeling of summer, they had to spray paint the changing leaves green. This means that during the scene where Baby and Johnny are practicing the famous lift in the water, the water was at a frigid temperature. That’s why the movie didn’t show any close-ups of the actors during the scene. Their blue lips would have given away the true season.

With the subject of this painting being the stunning country club in the movie, we wanted to talk a little about it...
Even though Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey are most commonly regarded as the stars of Dirty Dancing, we'd argue the film wouldn't have been nearly as successful without another very important player: The Kellerman Resort. It's rustic rock exterior, quaint wooden cabins and big gleaming lake are just a few of the features that made it feel like the Catskills family destination of our dreams.
But apparently the set wasn't actually in upstate New York, after all. Who knew? In real life, the destination is actually called the Mountain Lake Hotel and it's based in Pembroke, Virginia. It was chosen, because of the low budget of the movie (no one expected it to turn into the hit it did!) and the retro vibe and design that helped make the 1987 film feel like it was set in 1963. Another fun fact: Many of the actors actually stayed on site at the hotel!
The hotel opened in 1851 and purchased in 1936 by the Moody family, the 1986 filming of Dirty Dancing made this property famous. But as time wore on since the movie’s heyday, the entirety of the main lodge and surrounding cabins and structures became dilapidated, and the site’s owner, the Mary Moody Northern Endowment, wrote constant loss checks...
