Dirty Dancing is coming back to cinemas in Ireland for one night only

Better mark the calendars.

Following a number of sell-out screenings, ODEON Cinemas are bringing another cult classic film to the big screen for one night only: Dirty Dancing.  The film, starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, tells the story of Frances 'Baby' Houseman who - while spending the summer at a Catskills resort with her family - falls for dance instructor Johnny Castle. And 30 years after its release, ODEON Cinemas are partnering with Pigsback.com to bring their story back to the big screen. The special screening takes place at 6.30pm on May 21 at ODEON Cinemas across the country. Tickets cost €15 and include popcorn, a drink and tub of ice cream. You can get them here - but you better be quick, because we reckon these will be gone faster than you can say nobody puts Baby in the corner.  Paul Wren, Commercial Manager for ODEON Cinemas commented:

“We are very excited to welcome ‘Dirty Dancing’ to our screens this month. With such a stellar soundtrack and star studded cast, it was an obvious choice for our continued ODEON and Pigsback.com collaboration.”

The late, great Patrick Swayze once said the film was "about people trying to find themselves" and praised it as having "so much heart." He said:

, “It’s got so much heart, to me. "It’s not about the sensuality; it’s really about people trying to find themselves - this young dance instructor feeling like he’s nothing but a product, and this young girl trying to find out who she is in a society of restrictions when she has such an amazing take on things. "On a certain level, it’s really about the fabulous, funky little Jewish girl getting the guy because of what she’s got in her heart.”

Now, if anyone needs us, we'll be watching *that* iconic dance scene until May 21 arrives... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo
