Get ready for the time of your life.
Dance Film SF invites you to an unforgettable evening celebrating one of the most beloved dance films ever made. On Thursday, September 17, we’re bringing Dirty Dancing back to the big screen — and we’re bringing along the artist whose choreography made it unforgettable.
Join us for a special screening followed by a live Q&A with Kenny Ortega, the Emmy Award-winning choreographer who shaped every move of this iconic film, in conversation with San Francisco Chronicle columnist Tony Bravo. A Bay Area native and one of Hollywood’s most decorated creative forces, Ortega will share behind-the-scenes stories of how the film came together, his craft of designing choreography for the camera, and personal reflections from a career that has spanned generations from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Newsies to the High School Musical trilogy and his creative partnership with Michael Jackson.
The evening will also mark a special milestone: the presentation of Dance Film SF’s Embodiment Award to Ortega, recognizing his extraordinary and lasting contributions to the world of dance and film.
