This iconic Dirty Dancing scene was unscripted
Dirty Dancing was released in 1987 and won us over with its extraordinary choreography but one dance scene wasn’t even supposed to be in the film.
During a rehearsal, Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze crawled around on the floor as a warm-up exercise.
However, director Emile Ardolino loved what they were doing so much that he made the warm-up part of the movie.
Dirty Dancing became a massive success and the role of Johnny was originally offered to Val Kilmer who turned it down last minute allowing Patrick Swayze to become an international sensation.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Billy Zane also auditioned for the leading roles and were strongly considered but didn’t make the cut reportedly because their dancing skills weren’t as strong.
