If you love romantic dance movies, or just have a girlfriend who does, you’ve likely seen Dirty Dancing. The 1987 film starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze is equal parts cheesy and sexy – and has inspired a lot of people to try their hands (make that feet) at cutting up a rug. But while those two stars make ballroom look easy, in reality, the moves are pretty hard to pull off.
Just watch what happened when a woman attempted the infamous lift in the film set to the movie’s theme song “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” In the now-viral clip, she runs toward her squatting dance partner – and that’s when everything goes wrong. He lifts her into the air, but she ends up flipping backward and falling. As her partner tries to spare her the face-plant, he accidentally rips her dress off. She ends up on her back on the pavement in only her bra and underwear.
It was far from the graceful execution of the gravity-defying move seen in Dirty Dancing.

Luckily, only the woman’s ego was bruised. Apparently, others who have attempted to recreate the iconic dance scene have ended up injured, including one woman who suffered a broken neck.
Let’s all agree to leave the classic choreography to the professionals from here on out, OK?
