Dancing with the Stars to Honor Patrick Swayze

Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze in Dirty DancingNext week’s three-day premiere of Dancing with the Stars will include a tribute to one of their early contributors. On Wednesday, the program will take time out to honor Dirty Dancing star .

Back in 2005, the actor/dancer made a brief appearance on the freshman series as a coach for John O’Hurley. He also sat in the audience during the Season 1 finale to support his friend.

DWTS’ ninth season begins Monday, September 21 @ 8:00.
