Too Dirty?
Dirty Dancing got its title from the kind of dancing done in the film which was considered very provocative at the said time. It could be compared to today’s “twerking.” However, the main point of the film was girl power or empowering women. The movie’s editor, who obviously had a more conservative view, didn’t see it in the same way. While they were shooting the scenes that feature Baby, he apparently kept asking the producer and writer Eleanor Bergstein, “How can you have respect for a girl who dances that way?” Bergstein chose not to respond.
