Dirty Dancing is a film that defines social classes and expresses different types of social themes in the 1960s. Identify the differences between upper class, middle class, and lower class. At the same time it also expresses how the division in our society can be stereotypical and inaccurate, as not everything is as it seems. From the beginning of this movie you could see the difference between the classes. There are the waiters, the dancers and the host. You could say there is no difference between them, the hosts, waiters and dancers work for a living. Therefore they should be classified as the working class. In the film you could also see just one pair of black dancers who always stayed together. The plot of Dirty Dancing is about a young girl, Frances Houseman (Baby), from the upper class who falls in love with a lower class dancer. He arrives at Kellerman's Resort with his mother Marjorie Houseman, his sister Lisa Houseman and his father Jake Houseman who is a doctor. Baby is different from her family, she is bored with the daily routine of the resort. One day he decides to follow one of the resort workers. He was carrying two watermelons. He saw her and Baby ended up helping him carry the watermelons into the cabin. When they arrive he finds himself in the fog of the dancers. He said he had never seen anyone dance like that. This is a distinction the film makes between classes. The child belonging to the upper class has never seen anyone dancing in a sexual way, so dirty dancing. This is how Baby meets Johnny. The boy Baby had helped with the watermelons was Johnny's cousin. Johnny then asked his cousin; what is he doing here? The child sheepishly replies “I brought a watermelon”. That night... middle of paper... dge Johnny unfairly. Johnny returns to the dance even though he was fired because he always had the last dance of the season. He walked over to Baby who was sitting in the corner and said "no one puts Baby in the corner". He goes on stage and says, “I'm going to do my kind of dance with an amazing partner who taught that there are people who are willing to defend you, no matter what it costs them.” Someone who taught me the kind of person I want to be.”. They danced and everyone began to dance; dancers with guest, guest with other staff. In conclusion Dirty Dancing was a film that in the time period it was supposed to reflect (the 1960s) there was a lot of segregation whether by class, race or gender. At the end of this film you could see how at least for that period "they had a lot of fun" without discrimination of class, race or generation.
