Eight celebrities fully immerse themselves in the ultimate "Dirty Dancing" experience. Set at Virginia's Mountain Lake Lodge, the real location for the film's fictional Kellerman's Lodge, the stars partner up and attempt to re-create classic scenes -- including the legendary lift that cemented the film's spot in cinematic history. Throughout the event special, "Dirty Dancing's" memorable music and unforgettable fashion transport viewers back to the magical summer in 1963. The competition also features special guest judges who help decide which celebrity couples make it through and which couples are "put in a corner." In the end, one man and one woman are crowned the winning "Baby" and "Johnny," becoming "The Real Dirty Dancing" champions.

While I definitely never anticipated watching a show like this, it happily slides into the category of “things I wouldn’t resent a friend having on TV when I was over”. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com 02/03/2022
It's unlikely you'll have the time of your life watching, except perhaps for those who choose to laugh at it rather than with it. Go to Full Review Ashley Moulton Common Sense Media 03/03/2022
3/5
The show is surprisingly entertaining, at least for adults who have watched the original movie and who recognize the celebrity contestants. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 02/02/2022

The Real Dirty Dancing is surprisingly charming, and manages to find new space in well-worn unscripted genres (dance, celebrity, celebrity dance). Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/16/2022 These people are desecrating the original movie. The gap between the film clips of Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey vs the clumsy performances by mismatched amateur couples is like the Grand Canyon and makes them look even worse than by comparison. The females, at least the last 3 in the competition that I saw are way too long in the tooth to embody "Baby". The quality of the dancing entering the final is lower than Dancing with the Stars FIRST episode. Who thought 2 self-taught amateurs instead of at least one professional partner was a good idea or wouldn't be painful to watch? See more cindy m @CindyCindy 02/09/2022 WOW! What a stinker! Fun to watch for all the production errors. Sad, small cast is whittled down very quickly by just one elimination where the tears flowed as they talked about their "journey". Stinker that could have been fun but so hokey, fake modesty, mismatched cast makes this a whopping, stinking mess! See more Read all reviews
