Development

Dirty dancing 1984 was one of the first films to challenge and 'break the rules' of film producing changing the way audiences think of the culture of the time and dancing and social class (additionally presented in Havana Nights 2004 also involving racism) . This was used to achieve audiences by its use of stars; Patrick Swayze star of the original Red Dawn who later appeared in Ghosts(1990) and guest appearence in Havana Nights(2004). The lead and Patrick's co star Jennifer Grey also in Red Dawn, Wind(1992) and FRIENDS in 1995.
Additionally the producer Linda Gottlieb also used music from John Morris who collaborated all the music of that time that intrigued audiences and increased it's success making songs such as I've Had The Time Of My Life go in the charts and still played on radios constantly today.
