Showing her how it's done: Penny falls pregnant and is forced to step down from the dancing role

Back in December 2015 the US network announced the remake, naming Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail in the lead role of Baby Houseman.

In Dirty Dancing Penny falls pregnant in the film and wants to go for an illegal abortion, forcing Baby to step in and dance with Johnny Prattes, who was originally played by Patrick Swayze.

Do you think there will be more steamy scenes? More complex dance moves? What do you think?
