Freeform, Disney's young adult television and streaming network, will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fan-favorite film DIRTY DANCING with an all-day marathon on MONDAY, AUGUST 21, starting at 7:00 a.m. EDT.

In the summer of 1963, innocent 17-year-old Baby (Jennifer Grey) vacations with her parents at a Catskills resort. One evening she is drawn to the staff quarters by stirring music. There she meets Johnny (Patrick Swayze), the hotel dance instructor, who is as experienced as Baby is naïve. Baby soon becomes Johnny's pupil in dance and love. "Dirty Dancing" stars Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, Jack Weston and Jane Brucker.
