When a self-conscious rich girl (Jennifer Grey) falls for a leather-clad hired entertainer (Patrick Swayze), things get serious fast.
Riveting chemistry, an iconic soundtrack, and a script that blends swooning romance, class conflict and coming-of-age feminism are part of what makes Dirty Dancing a longstanding favourite. But, mostly, it’s the steaming-hot dance scenes.
‘Even after all these years, this feelgood classic still has the power to put a big stupid smile on my face’ – The Guardian
Hot Summer Nights offers a curated selection of sizzling romances, road trips, suspense, stunning locations and a generous helping of nostalgia. View all screenings
Come along early to enjoy Hot Summer Nights in the NFSA courtyard, with live performances or DJ sets from 6pm and extended opening hours at our onsite cafe and bar.
