Kellerman’s Gift Shop sells “Dirty Dancing” items in a new on-site shop. Mountain Lake Lodge, where parts of the movie were filmed in 1986, says the shop is modeled after the studio where Johnny taught Baby to dance.
The shop has also been styled after the dance studio where Johnny taught Baby to dance in the movie, according to the resort, with a replica of Baby’s dancing shoes, period lighting and a “Don’t Step On The One!” sign.
The “Dirty Dancing” gift shop sells t-shirts, sweatshirts and more “Dirty Dancing” merchandise.
“The hottest seller in Kellerman’s Gift Shop is the ringer tee, just like Johnny’s cousin Billy wore in the movie,” said Jeremiah McKendree, vice president retail and recreation, in a release.
The collection of “Dirty Dancing” merchandise and memorabilia is also available online at mtnlakelodge.shop.
Shortly after “Dirty Dancing” filmed at Mountain Lake in 1986, the owner died and created an endowment to own and operate the resort. But the resort began to fall in decline. Over the past 10 years, several million dollars went to renovations, according to Heidi Stone, the current president of Mountain Lake Lodge.
“Last year was our best ever, and we are currently pacing ahead of that,” Stone said in a statement.

The resort now hosts “Dirty Dancing” weekends where guests get to experience activities inspired by the movie, from dance lessons and guided tours of film locations to parties, lawn games, scavenger hunts and screenings of the film. “Dirty Dancing” weekends typically sell out a year in advance, Stone said.
Mountain Lake Lodge is located in Pembroke, which is about three hours and 40 minutes from Richmond by car.
