Movies at the Mercer | DIRTY DANCING (1987): Outdoor Screening
September 21 @ 7:30 pm
Put down those watermelons and gather your gal pals for a swoon-worthy screening of the essential ’80s dance classic DIRTY DANCING! While spending the summer with her family at a stodgy resort in the Catskills, a young girl falls in love with the camp’s bad-boy dance instructor. Swayze is perfect as the resident heartthrob, while the soundtrack and movie still resonate over three decades after its release. Starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, and Kelly Bishop.
