The participants set out to re-create a few scenes and dance moves from the 1987 film. While the first episode was more about getting rid of awkwardness, the upcoming installment will center around perfecting a particular scene.

In a preview for Episode 2, the cast members are seen trying to get one of the Baby and Johnny routines. They can be seen rehearsing the iconic lake scene where Johnny teaches Baby the famous lift step. All the boys will wear black vests and jeans, while the girls will be in white.

Recap of The Real Dirty Dancing premiere

The Real Dirty Dancing premiere kickstarted with a few clips from the legendary film. The celebrities then arrived at the original location where the movie was filmed. The set included Dirty Dancing’s gazebo, the lodge, dance room and Baby's cabin.

Host tWitch (Stephen Laurel Boss) greeted the contestants and showed them around the set. He then asked them to engage in an impromptu dance with fellow contestants to get out of one’s comfort zone.

After rehearsing their respective routines, each pair performed to a song and left viewers speechless with their incredible performances. While Bella surprised everyone with her sensual moves, Dorough and Johnson-Reyes failed to get their lift step right. Nonetheless, all of them tried their best to celebrate the iconic movie in the first episode of the four-week special event series.
