Watch Patrick Swayze and His Wife of 34 Years Dancing Together

at The World Music Awards

Back in 1994, Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi graced the stage with their first televised dance performance at the World Music Awards. This remarkable couple performed a beautiful tribute to Grammy Award-winning singer Whitney Houston.

Though this performance is now over 25 years old, its beauty, passion, and grace remain timeless. Patrick and Lisa first met while she was taking dance lessons from his mother in her studio. Lisa fondly remembered, “The first time Buddy and I danced together was at a school exhibition.

We walked out on stage… I looked in his eyes; it was like everything came alive.”

Just watching their enchanting performance, one can easily see the undeniable love and connection they shared. The talented duo enjoyed a blissful marriage for 34 years until, sadly, on September 14, 2009, Patrick lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.

That unforgettable night at the World Music Awards, the two soulmates were not just celebrating Whitney Houston’s life but were also celebrating life in all its glory.

Many recognize Patrick for his incredible acting talent, yet he was also an exceptional dancer and a talented singer. In the beloved 1987 movie “Dirty Dancing,” Patrick sang a touching love ballad titled “She’s Like The Wind,” which was dedicated to Lisa, the love of his life.

Reflecting on this intimate and personal performance gives us chills, but it also serves as a touching reminder of the everlasting love shared between these two beautiful souls.
