Johnny and Baby dance to a song titled "Dirty Dancing".

They dance the in the "dirty dancing" style. They pivot around and over each other, like sensuous, twining pretzels. They sway way down, grind together, sway apart. They leap and sway. Baby is dancing more and more freely. She bumps, she tips, she twists.

Robbie admires Baby's dancing and realizes he went after the wrong sister.

Manny (Max) is angry.

Baby does a series of turns, and the staff kids in audience start chanting, "Baby! Baby! Baby!"

Baby is the heroine of the working kids.

Johnny calls the staff kids up. They flood the stage in their overalls and jeans -- and their leaping, joyous dancing limbs turn every inch of the stage hot, alive exciting ...

Neil standing at the foot of the stage, awkwardly tries to join the dancing.

As audience members begin to join the dancing, Baby and Johnny perform their lift move.
