Show notes
Take a trip back to the summer of 1963 as Moonlight Peterson of Bite-Sized Nostalgia revisits Dirty Dancing , the 1987 classic that turned Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey into household names. We go behind the scenes of the beloved movie, from the casting of Baby and Johnny and the challenges of filming to the unforgettable soundtrack, the famous watermelon scene, and that iconic final lift. Discover how a movie that almost didn't get made became one of the most enduring films of the '80s. Love this kind of nostalgia?
