The events take place in 1963 at Kellerman's, a Jewish resort in the Catskills. Jennifer Grey is Frances 'Baby' Houseman, wealthy, innocent, and newly graduated. Baby and her father, Jake, played by Jerry Orbach, are still extremely close, and the family is vacationing at the resort for the summer before Baby is off to Mount Holyoke. Jake is the personal physician of resort owner Max Kellerman (Jack Weston). While being squired around by Max's creepy grandson, Neil (Lonny Price), Baby runs into Johnny Castle (Swayze), a broke dance instructor and performer. Circumstances lead to Baby getting into one of the staff's secret after-hours dance parties, where they engage in "dirty dancing" and Johnny teaches her some basic steps. However, when Johnny's dance partner, Penny (Cynthia Rhodes), becomes pregnant as a result of an affair with resort waiter Robbie Gould (who, ironically, is also dating Baby's older sister, Lisa (Jane Brucker) and needs an illegal abortion, Baby must take her place at an important dancing engagement at the Sheldrake, a neighboring resort. Johnny must teach her how to dance his and Penny's routine, and in the process, they grow closer. But Baby's relationship with her father causes conflict as she must choose her loyalties. |
