Nationwide auditions for the first ever UK tour of Dirty Dancing are taking place this May

Limber up ladies: the producers of Dirty Dancing are holding auditions for the first ever UK tour of the iconic movie musical next month.

Producers will be searching the country for the next Baby and Johnny in Birmingham, Cardiff and Edinburgh.

Debbie Moore, founder of Pineapple Dance Studios once told me, 'If you want to get the part you have to look the part' and audition rules state 'women must wear dance shoes with a heel, and no baggy clothes.'

For your chance to have the time of your life, take note of the audition details:
