Movement Analysis about the Dirty Dancing - Movie Review Example

On a personal view, one segment in the movie which shows a distinctive amount of energy is when Baby encounters the dancers’ area for the first time where all the dancers are doing some “dirty dancing”. Another time when the movie showed a tremendous amount of energy is during the showing of a montage of Johnny and Baby’s dance practices. The visual depiction of sweat, heavy breathing and intent look on the characters’ faces is a vivid display of energy and passion.

The one moment of extreme physicality is when Johnny jumps while doing an air-twist, from the stage towards the final part of their last performance for that summer. It depicts extreme balance, control, timing, and body and mind coordination. It is also one of the most breathtaking parts of the movie. The part of the movie that is personally viewed as most surprising is when Dr. Jake Houseman approached Johnny and Baby after their final dance number to apologize to Johnny and praise their performance.

It is heartwarming, and although albeit formulaic for a feel-good movie, is still able to elicit a nice, smile-inducing surprise.
