A follow-up album, More Dirty Dancing, was released in March 1988. The album Ultimate Dirty Dancing, released in December 2003, contains every song from the motion picture Dirty Dancing in the order it appears in the film.

Due to the strong resurgence of vinyl record sales, Dirty Dancing received a vinyl reissue in 2017, along with a Blu-Ray remaster with a 5.1 surround soundtrack and previously unreleased material.
