Charli D’Amelio recreated Dirty Dancing’s iconic lift and fans are obsessed

In her appearance on the ‘Step Into… The Movies’ special, TikTok star Charli D’Amelio recreated the iconic lift from ‘Dirty Dancing’ with Derek Hough and fans are loving it.

Charli D’Amelio is best known for her huge presence on TikTok, and the 17-year-old is the most-followed person on the entire platform with over 138 million followers, not to mention the millions more she has in other places like Instagram.

She was a competitive dancer for many years before starting her TikTok career, and fans got to see the star’s full potential when she made an appearance on ‘Step Into… The Movies.’

The special featured sibling dance stars Derek and Julianne Hough recreating some of the most iconic dances from popular movies along with a series of celebrity guests, including Charli.

Charli teamed up with Derek to recreate the memorable ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’ from 1987 film Dirty Dancing, including the iconic lift.

In the lead-up to the show, Charli posted a video to her TikTok profile of her in training with Derek, where they were struggling to get the lift right, using a padded mat to prevent injury.
