Remember the iconic lift done by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in the ‘80s classic film Dirty Dancing? Of course you do. The famous dance move has been recreated by many people over the years, well now add Demi Lovato and her man Wilmer Valderrama to that list.
Yahoo Celebrity noted that while vacationing in St. Barts the lovebirds recreated the lift in the water, the same method Swayze and Grey used to practice in the movie.
Lovato donned a black one-piece halter bathing suit and was all smiles as Valderrama hoisted her in the air. The two then shared some hugs and kisses after the reenactment.
The singer and actor are on the Caribbean Island with their pals Nick and Joe Jonas who are there on business.
We’ve seen this move created before in viral videos from wedding parties and recently Dancing With the Stars champs Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough recreated the lift during their winning season. As we previously reported, the Dirty Dancing star, who showed us the move for the first time, said she doesn’t know how people recreate the lift though and revealed that she and Swayze never practiced it and just did it in one shot. She added that she hasn’t done it since because it takes “guts” to throw yourself “into the arms of anyone other than Swayze.”
