I believe the should return to Mountain Lake in Giles County VA for the filming, sure parts were filmed in NC but the natural beauty of Mt. Lake is hard to beat.

It looks like Dirty Dancing is going to be remade (for TV), thanks in part to a $4 million grant from the state:

The state awarded a $4 million grant for a TV remake of the movie "Dirty Dancing," although the project wasn't named in the April announcement. Lionsgate plans to create 1,300 jobs and spend $16 million in Asheville and "surrounding areas" this summer as it shoots a three-hour special to air on ABC.

The production is considering the High Hampton Inn in Cashiers as well as Winston-Salem's Stevens Center Theater and Greensboro's Carolina Theatre for filming locations. North Carolina beat out sites in Georgia, Pennsylvania and New York for the remake.

The application notes that "North Carolina has a long tradition with this project dating back to the original feature film."

Liongate received the grant in March. "Indeed we will accept the generous grant and look forward to producing an amazing project with beautiful North Carolina as the backdrop," Lionsgate senior vice president John Valentine wrote in an email.
