DIRTY DANCER
A ONE-WOMAN PARODY SHOW WITH A LIFT!
ABOUT THE SHOW
This bold, funny riff on the 1987 cult classic Dirty Dancing, is packed with sharp wit, physical storytelling, and playful audience connection.
The colorful crew from Kellerman’s Resort comes to life with a twist fueling this fast-paced, high-energy ride, no partner required.
Dirty Dancer invites you to relive the nostalgia, revel in the joy, and have the time of your life—because nobody puts this Baby in a corner.
