where was dirty dancing filmed

The movie "Dirty Dancing" was filmed primarily in Lake Lure, North Carolina, and Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia. Many famous scenes were shot at Lake Lure, including locations like the Rumbling Bald Resort (golf scenes) and the Esmeralda Inn (interior dance shots). Additional filming locations include Appalachia, Firefly Cove (lifting scene), and some scenes at Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia. Despite being set in the Catskills Mountains of New York, the film was shot in these areas because the New York resorts were closed during production.
