Johnny\u2019s Original Introduction Was Longer<br \/>\nIn the extended cut, Johnny (Patrick Swayze) has a slightly longer, moodier entrance, showing more tension between him and the resort staff before he meets Baby. It gave more depth to his \u201coutsider\u201d role.<\/p>\n<p>2. Penny and Baby Bonding<br \/>\nThere was a tender moment where Penny (Cynthia Rhodes) and Baby (Jennifer Grey) talk after Penny\u2019s botched abortion. It showed more vulnerability and solidarity between the two women.<\/p>\n<p>3. Extended Dance Rehearsals<br \/>\nSome extended dance training scenes between Johnny and Baby were trimmed for time but showed their growing attraction and Baby\u2019s clumsiness (which was partly real \u2014 Jennifer Grey improvised a lot).<\/p>\n<p>4. Watermelon Scene \u2013 Uncut<br \/>\nThe scene where Baby says \u201cI carried a watermelon\u201d originally included more dialogue and awkward interactions before she gets pulled into the dance room.<\/p>\n<p>5. Alternate Ending<br \/>\nThere\u2019s no fully filmed alternate ending, but early script drafts had a more subdued closing instead of the big lift performance. Luckily, they went with the now-iconic final scene!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f9d0.svg\" alt=\"\ud83e\uddd0\" \/>\u00a0Where to Watch Deleted Scenes:<br \/>\nYou can find some of them on:<\/p>\n<p>Special Edition DVDs\/Blu-rays<\/p>\n<p>YouTube (search: Dirty Dancing deleted scenes)<\/p>\n<p>Behind-the-scenes documentaries like \u201cDirty Dancing: The Legacy Lives On\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Would you like me to find you a link to one of the deleted scenes on YouTube?
