The Real Dirty Dancing UK is here, following the success of The Real Dirty Dancing US series, which focuses on ten celebrities who are hoping to be the next Baby and Johnny as they immerse themselves in a Dirty Dancing experience like no other.
The stars will compete to be the last couple standing as they put on epic routines based on the iconic scenes from the hit film, from 'Hungry Eyes' to the Mambo dance. They won’t be on their own though, as they will also receive dance expertise from creative director of Dreamboys, Jordan Darrell to help them have the time of their lives.
During the competition, the famous faces will move to a picturesque Lakeside location, nostalgic of the original Kellerman's resort as we witness them brush up on their dance moves.
