When Patrick Swayze died last September, so, too, did the hope that America might ever make another respectable dance movie. (Just watch From Justin to Kelly for proof.) Pay homage to cinema's last great dirty dancer at this singles' event, class and trivia party. It starts at Zesty's — where the first drink is free — and then moves to Manayunk's outpost of the Society Hill Dance Academy for mambo and salsa lessons taught by Shana Vitoff. "We'll play music from Dirty Dancing, do the mambo and make jokes about putting Baby in the corner," she says. BYO muscle shirts and crop tops.
