No acceptable translation

My comment:

The concept of 'dirty dancing' as a socially acceptable dance form a la Travolta et al is unknown in Hindi.
The term 'gandaa naach' means literally 'dirty dance' and would be used to refer to something very lewd and objectionable, certainly not comparable with the western 'dirty dancing'.
