Now, 23 years later, I'm the Tourism Manager for the Chamber of Commerce in Lake Lure and 9 out of 10 people that come to our Visitor Center ask about Dirty Dancing and want to see where it was filmed.Your information is partially correct the cottages were torn down shortly after the movie was filmed, but the gymnasium and dining hall both burned about 22 years ago.Dirty Dancing is a 1987 American romantic drama dance film written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and directed by Emile Ardolino. I was a bartender there the entire time and made more money than I've ever made. At $15 per person, these shows were sold out Friday night, Saturday Night & Sunday afternoons for over 3 years. People came from everywhere, including surrounding states to these performances by the 'Dirty Dancing Revue Dancers' and the wonderful live band that accompanied them. For several years after the movie aired, this building was home to the 'Dirty Dancing Revue' every weekend. All of the dancing scenes, including the final dance scene, was filmed inside the old gymnasium which was turned into a 'dinner theatre' for filming.This is also where Baby carried the watermelon, danced across the bridge and down the steps.
