Dirty dancing

I never wanted to dance like Patrick Swayze. I believed I danced better than him. When Dirty Dancing broke onto the scene, it was the ’80s easing into the ’90s and I was 17, anything but easing into adult 18. The hormones were raging and dirty dancing was all we did. There are movies that define a period of one’s life. Dirty Dancing defined mine till I was about 22. That’s all I did. Danced.
Swayze was a better actor than dancer, but he did show us that the grind can be classy. For that he will be remembered.
