Dirty Dancing Remake
After the success of the movie, there was actually a remake produced, which was titled Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Some might argue it was not even in the same league or caliber as the original movie, especially as it had different leading characters. Nevertheless the dance scenes were choreographed by the same dancer as the original movie, and it actually was a box office hit. The movie had all the ingredients for success, from an attractive cast and Latin dancing to some pretty sensual scenes. Even if it steered away from the original, it’s still a must-see.

One of the most interesting feats about the movie is that it had a powerful impact throughout Eastern Europe and Russia. Bergstein actually revealed in 2016 that “In Russia, it’s policy in the battered women’s shelters, when a woman comes in for help. First, they wash and dress her wounds, then they give her soup. Then they sit her down and show her Dirty Dancing. When the Berlin Wall came down, there were all these pictures of kids wearing Dirty Dancing T-shirts; they were saying, ‘We want to have what they have in the West! We want Dirty Dancing!’”
