Quinn B. Wharton has put his passion for dance and videography on display in a unique way. He created a video from a famous “Dirty Dancing” scene that’s since gone viral. 
"People claiming me in the comments, I have old partners from high school showing up in the comments, my old dance teachers obviously, people I have not spoken to in years,” said Wharton. 
He says the video, posted earlier this month, has amassed over 11 million views across Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. 
Most notably, he plays all the characters in the scene, except the role of Baby, which he cast as a lampshade perched on a broomstick. 
"I think the humor of us being alone and being lonely, everyone can relate to that and you can take the edge off by dancing with an inanimate object,” said Wharton.
