Plot Synopsis

Based on the Australian series of the same name and hosted by hosted by Stephen "tWitch" Boss, THE REAL DIRTY DANCING is a four-week event series that features eight celebrities fully immersing 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 from the Jennifer Grey-and Patrick Swayze-led movie -- 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.
