It's the summer of 1963, and 17-year-old Frances "Baby" Houseman is about to learn some major lessons in life, as well as a thing or two about dancing. On vacation in New York's Catskill Mountains with her older sister and parents, Frances shows little interest in the resort activities, and instead discovers her own entertainment when she stumbles upon the staff quarters when an all-night dance party is in full swing. Mesmerized by the sensual dance moves and the pounding rhythms, Baby can't wait to be a part of the scene, especially when she catches sight of Johnny Castle, the resort's dance instructor. Baby's life is about to change forever as she is thrown in at the deep end as Johnny's leading lady both on-stage and off with breathtaking consequences.
