People always say that the Lambada is forbidden but I've always wondered why.
What is the origin of this dance?
Can I see it in any ballroom competitions?
:)
Thanks!

Lambada is not one of the ballroom dances, you can't see it in ballroom competitions. Labmada's true origin is unclear, although it seems to be originating in Brazil. It is older than we think. In the 80's a group named Kaoma released a single that swept over the world and made it extremely known. Lambada in the 80's was the same kind of one shot deal as Macarena in the 90's. I don't think it is any more forbidden or dirty than freak dancing. I think Tango and Waltz were called forbidden dances about 120 years ago.

Lambada is a social dance that had its day in the 80's. It isn't competed in either International or American ballroom and is rarely taught as a social dance in those venues. It was called forbidden as a marketing ploy, as anything "forbidden" is likely to draw adolescents' curiosity. It's probably from northern Brazil, and the music hasn't had the staying power of bossa nova, which would be a better bet as a comeback from Brazil (a samba variant).
