Fans can now relive all the magic produced from the '80s cult movie, Dirty Dancing.
Kellerman's Resort - aka Mountain Lake Lodge - is throwing open its doors to Dirty Dancing fans for three very special weekends.
Guests can enjoy dance lessons, tour the locations used in the film, participate in a watermelon toss and scavenger hunt, watch the movie and finally, strut their newfound dancing skills at a dance party that will feature the show-stopping hits from the movie.

You can also rent Virginia Cottage - the very cabin Baby and the Housemans spent the summer in.
Just remember: nobody puts Baby in a corner.
Mountain Lake Lodge is based in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Kellerman's Resort was actually set in the Catskill Mountains, in upstate New York.
