"This year marks a major milestone for Dirty Dancing®. I'm excited that the SKINNY COW brand is bringing this beloved classic back to the big screen!" said Jennifer Grey. "SKINNY COW ice cream and candy - like dancing - brings a little bit of fun to your day."

A recent SKINNY COW survey of 1,000 women ages 25-55 revealed that nearly 70% of women say they like to dance(1)!  

  • But for many women, there are never enough hours in the day. Something has to give – and it's usually time with beloved girlfriends.
  • The majority (80%) of respondents believe that the relationship with their girlfriends is extremely important.
  • Despite the special place girlfriends hold in their lives, only one-in-10 women say they have enough time to spend with the ladies who can make them smile on the worst of days.
  • While the opportunities to dance can be few and far between, women often get their dancing fix through their favorite dance movies. In fact, 80% of women say the ever-popular 1987 film Dirty Dancing® is one of the most iconic movies of our time!

"Nobody puts Skinny in a corner!" said Jessica Vasisht, Brand Manager at Nestle Dreyer's Ice Cream Company. "This summer the SKINNY COW brand is giving girlfriends across the country a reason and opportunity to reconnect with their best friends, slip on their dancing shoes and enjoy themselves. A partnership between the SKINNY COW brand and Dirty Dancing® is the ideal indulgence for your body and soul this summer."

"We are pleased to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iconic film Dirty Dancing® with the SKINNY COW brand's fun-filled events this summer," said Chela Johnson, Vice President of Marketing at Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

The tour will kick-off on May 22 in New York City at the Best Buy Theater (1515 Broadway New York, NY). The SKINNY COW brand will bring Lionsgate's film to the silver screen for the first time in years and will be followed by an after party full of girlfriends, dancing and sweet treats.

Following the kick-off in New York City, in select cities across the country, fans will have the chance to enjoy exclusive screenings of the iconic Dirty Dancing® film, participate in movie trivia, have the opportunity to win door prizes and indulge in SKINNY COW treats!
