It all starts when Francesco and Marianna, two gifted dancers, make their entrance onto the dance floor.

Their aura is commanding, their energy infectious.

The room is full of excitement as the first strains of “The Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing start to play.

They’re like a mini Johnny and Baby!

Then, about 3 minutes into the performance, it finally happens.

Marianna and Francesco separate on the dance floor, then he gives her a little nod.

The girl goes running towards him, and he lifts her into the air while she spreads her arms.

Something tells me Johnny and Baby would be proud!

The audience breaks into applause over their iconic lift move, which really is quite adorable.

As the song begins to fade, the dance follows suit.

The dancers’ movements become slower and it’s obvious that everyone is impressed by the performance they just witnessed.

The final moments of the dance are filled with a sense of satisfaction and completion, a fitting finale to a captivating performance.
