Channing Tatum has showed off his fancy footwork on film before, but now the hunky actor is trying out Patrick Swayze's iconic role in Dirty Dancing in a new Web-only series. PEOPLE.com has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the shoot, which also stars the hilarious Knocked Up and Paper Heart actress Charlyne Yi. (Watch it here.)

Produced by Mean Magazine, the clip is just one of several episodes in which celebrities – including Will Arnett, Zooey Deschanel and Milo Ventimiglia – take on classic roles in short, rebooted versions of flicks like Sid and Nancy, Point Break and Carrie. The films will be released in full on Zune.com throughout the summer.

Tatum's full Dirty Dancing shoot will stream live beginning July 28.
