Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough will bring Dirty Dancing back to life on Dancing With the Stars with their performance this coming Monday night. They’ve already created quite a stir ahead of next week’s competition with their recreation of Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s iconic water lift scene from the 1987 hit film.
Traveling to a nearby Los Angeles lake, Derek Hough and Bindi Irwin channeled Johnny and Baby in their stunning recreation. They even wore outfits uncannily similar to those Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey wore.

Might Monday night’s performance find Derek and Bindi receiving their first perfect scores of the season?
Just because Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough pulled off the perfect water lift scene doesn’t mean the two didn’t have a few botched attempts in the process.

Bindi Irwin is definitely this season’s sweetheart on Dancing With the Stars. Many say she’s favored to win, too.
Will you be tuning in on Monday evening to see Bindi and Derek bring Dirty Dancing back to life on the DWTS ballroom floor? Will Bindi Irwin do Jennifer Grey proud?
