THIS is the horrifying moment a woman was left missing her front teeth in a bloody smash while attempting the famous lift from “Dirty Dancing”.
Flo Bragg, 27, was holidaying with her boyfriend when she decided to try the famous lift from the 1987 smash, made famous by Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze.

The pair were “bored” when she decided to pass the time by recreating the famous lift with her partner, 40, while on holiday in Provence, France.
But it all went wrong when she flew face-first into a wall – knocking out her two front teeth, and breaking her nose in the process.
Now, she’s trying to raise money for her dental treatment – including x-rays and a double root canal – which will set her back £270.
Flo, a sales executive from Exeter, said: “We were just bored one day – we decided to attempt it a couple of times.
“I guess we thought it would be funny if we just nailed it. But I went face-first into a wall on my second attempt.
“My boyfriend had knocked out my two front teeth, and broke my nose.”
Video filmed by the couple shows them enjoying the sunshine in the pool before trying out the famous dance move.
She leaps up into his arms and his propelled above his head just like Jennifer in the smash hit movie.
But she then topples over his head into the pool with a large splash.
Plunging face first she quickly surfaces with her hand clutched around her teeth having smashed into the pool.
She can be heard shouting “ow, ow” as he rushes to help.
Flo’s partner drove her to hospital after the accident on September 19, 2024 where she had her teeth temporarily glued back in.
But she was unable to enjoy the rest of the hols being unable to eat “regular” food.
And she had to keep her face out of the sun due to her injuries.
She needs to raise the cash to help cover her French medical bills after her return to the UK.
