Dancing With The Stars payed tribute to the late Patrick Swayze with three short dance performances done by the DWTS pros.
The tribute started out with Chelsie Hightower and Dmitry Chaplin breezing through Swayze’s own “She’s Like the Wind” from “Dirty Dancing” and then real-life husband and wife Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya performed a romantic duet to “Unchained Melody” from “Ghost.” But the real clincher was the final “Dirty Dancing” routine, set to “Time of My Life,” with Cheryl Burke playing the part of Baby, and Tony Dovolani as Johnny Castle.
The tribute was amazing, fantastic, beautiful, and very touching. Cheryl and Tony did an amazing job recreating the infamous Dirty Dancing performance.

awwwwww so sad and so touching… dirty dancing was one of my all time favs… a timeless classic. Swayze will always have that legacy and not many people get that in life.

Dirty Dancing will never be the same. I will cry every time I watch it.
