Living has commissioned a ten-part reality series, Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life, from Granada Entertainment.
The series, part of Living's Autumn 2007 schedule, will take 8 pairs of British dancers over to the original location of the film, the Mountain Lake Resort in Southwestern Virginia, in the search to find a real–life Baby and Johnny dance duo.
The eight couples will consist of a female who has had some dancing experience and a slightly older male who is an accomplished dancer, to create the Baby/Johnny relationship dynamic from the film.
Clare Hollywood, head of commissioning, Living said: “With Dirty Dancing we wanted to put a 'Living twist’ on a very current trend. The show isn’t about winning a role in the musical version or a straightforward dance competition, this is all about giving people the much coveted Dirty Dancing experience.
Dirty Dancing: The Time of Your Life has been commissioned by Living's head of commissioning Clare Hollywood, and will be executive produced by Glen Middleham, series editor will be Ed Sayer and series producer, Andrew Robertson from Granada Entertainment.
