She has a nice figure, but she doesn't come across as having a dancers grace to me at all. I mean I know I shouldn't rush to snap judgements just based on the trailer and a few pics, but in the pic from the lake for example she's just kind of hanging there and not even pointing her toes. The comparison to the original is incredibly jarring to me http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/dirty-dancing-remake-see-famous-lake-lift-recreated/
I'm probably being way too picky here lol, obviously Baby was never a trained dancer, but I always thought the point was that Johnny noticed that she did have some natural ability and that she could move, whereas everything about the remake just looks incredibly awkward and unpoised. It's not the best idea for them to lift lines and scenes directly from the original IMO, because that's just inviting people to notice those differences and feel like the new version doesn't compare
