DIRTY DANCING (1987) — Fundraiser for Missouri Abortion Fund

September 29, 2022 : 7:00 pm

“Yes, we love the dancing, and the chemistry between Grey and Swayze is electric, but ultimately, Dirty Dancing is a deeply political movie about abortion, class struggle, and feminist identity.” (Mia Brett, Mic)

Featuring Patrick Swayze’s heat-seeking pelvis, Jennifer Grey’s original nose, and lavish helpings of dance-floor sensuality and coming-of-age nostalgia, Dirty Dancing was one of the great guilty pleasures of the 1980s. A genuine sleeper hit, it became an instant cult classic. For anyone who grew up during the 1980s, the film occupies a niche not far removed from that occupied by such Brat Pack favorites as The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo’s Fire; seeing it was a sort of rite of passage. When it comes down to it, Dirty Dancing is a prime example of great entertainment. Like any number of coming-of-age dramas, what it lacks in finesse it makes up for in heart. As effusive and well-meaning as its teenage protagonist, Dirty Dancing is an unabashedly romantic exercise in both the suspension of disbelief and the healing powers of well-choreographed nostalgia.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT WILL BE DONATED TO MISSOURI ABORTION FUND.

Missouri Abortion Fund is a non-profit committed to funding Missourians who need assistance paying for their abortions. The only requirement to receive our funding is being a Missourian. We allocate funds directly to our clinic partners. They then distribute those funds to help cover Missourian’s abortions.
