Jessica Biel nails Dirty Dancing’s difficult dance move on TV show

Jessica Biel lived out a dream during a recently taped episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show by recreating the Dirty Dancing ‘lift’ during her stunning entrance.
The actress confused the host of the U.S. show when she appeared from the back of the audience and proceeded to walk down the studio steps to the tune of Bill Medley’s and Jennifer Warnes’ (I’ve Had) Time of My Life, which featured in the beloved 1987 film.
She then danced with show DJ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss – a professional dancer – and they ended the segment by tackling the famous dance move performed by Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey at the end of the movie.
Out of breath and excited she nailed the ‘lift’, Biel told Ellen, “I’m not a good dancer, really”, joking that she makes her husband Justin Timberlake do “stuff like that all the time.. in the pool, outside of the pool”, adding, “His back goes out… It’s a disaster.”
Biel’s dancing and her interview with Ellen airs on Thursday’s (14Sep17) show.
