**FUN FACT:
During filming, they called it "Dancing Film Productions" so that the Mountain Lakes Resort where they filmed didn't think they were making a movie about a different kind of dirty dancing.
PS: You can stay in the hotel where they shot the film, though it's not in the Catskills!

MORE Fun Facts About ‘Dirty Dancing’ You May Not Know:
(1) The film is well known not only for its story, but for its amazing soundtrack.
Before the film's music won awards though, the crew had to scramble to afford the music that Bergstein insisted on including. Eventually, all of the songs she asked for made it into the film, including original songs like "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze, “Hungry Eyes” by Eric Carmen and “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. The soundtrack sold over 30 million copies.
(2) The song's final song, "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life" was chosen literally the night before the cast and crew shot the finale.
The song would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song — and the unofficial award for "best way to end a wedding reception.”
(3) Winona Ryder and Sarah Jessica Parker were also up for the role of Baby.
But, according to the film's producer, Linda Gottlieb, "Jennifer Grey was pushed into the audition room by her father and we were in love." Bergstein says, "As she walked in, she said, 'Wish me lucky, daddy,' and she just closed the Baby's face in my mind ... and from that moment on she was the only person I wanted.”
(4) Benecio Del Toro, Val Kilmer and Billy Zane were up for the role of Johnny Castle.
You know, the same Billy Zane who played the villainous Cal in Titanic? "But he danced like someone who looked like he had learned to dance beautifully for his bat mitzvah," Bergstein said in Netflix's Movies That Made Us, and they needed someone who could really sell it as a dancer.
(5) Swayze hurt himself while filming one of the film's many iconic scenes.
Swayze refused to use a body double during the scene when the pair dance on a log over a ravine. His injury ended up holding up production for the film, which already had a minuscule budget. It also aggravated a knee injury he sustained while playing football in high school, making that final dance all the more difficult for him.
(6) Patrick Swayze hated the film's most iconic line.
Ok, so, to be fair, "Nobody puts baby in the corner" doesn't really make sense for the scene. There's not a corner in sight! But go ahead and watch it again, you know, for old times' sake.
