Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Lambada has its heart in the 1950s and the rest of its anatomy in the 1980s. It's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, like Flashdance, in all but name. Kevin, a.k.a. "Blade" (J. Eddie Peck), is a math teacher by day, dancer/G.E.D. instructor by night. Sandy (Melora Hardin) is the kind of student Sting warned about in "Don't Stand So Close to Me." There's his dangly earring and her hair gel. There's her lunkhead boyfriend, who looks like Top Secret!-era Val Kilmer, and Blade's lambada nemesis, Ramon. And, oh yeah, Blade is Latino. Sound familiar? It is. Lambada is cheesy as all get out and doesn't have an original idea in its body. It's also a sure-to-be-guilty pleasure for fans of Footloose and other 1980s flicks with big beats and misunderstood heroes. It isn't as good, but it's still a hoot. And there's lots of steamy Lambada dancing in the nightclub scenes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5 out of 5 stars The Forbidden Dance Is Lambada.......2007-02-19

It is a great movie, I would recomend it for all those interested in dancing.

5 out of 5 stars The Fobidden Dance.......2006-11-04

A real GOOD feel and entertaining movie that has everything in it. Mind you the acting isn't all that great but the music and dancing sure does make up for it. You get to see how the "Lambada" should actually be danced.....no wonder they call it the forbidden dance!

Get a copy of the movie and check it out yourself. You will not be disappointed. I had the VHS version which was getting worn out and was keeping my fingers crossed waiting for DVD version to be released.....WoW and it has been.....so do what I did...just BUY it. AAA for value!

4 out of 5 stars I can dance.......2007-01-07

The Movie L is looking for is The Forbidden Dance......... I enjoyed, both those movies as well as Salsa. This movie is a little cheesey but when you are ten and watching it, who cares!!!!

1 out of 5 stars Attention - it's not the original "Lambada" !.......2005-12-05

I was looking for a "Lambada", a bright Brazilian movie,
with the catching Brazilian flavor and dancing.

Instead... they sell a castrated American "adaptation"
even without a famous theme song!

Friends,
Don't buy it. Waste of time.

1 out of 5 stars Waste of Time!.......2005-10-02

I was never a professional dancer, but always loved to dance. I guess that's at least one reason why I love to watch dancers perform almost any type of dance. That's certainly why I tend to buy so many moves sight unseen if they even suggest that I'll see lots of dancing.

What can I say? I was expecting a lot from Lambada, but the movie let me down in a big way. In my humble opinion, the movie is more about smut that strut with not nearly enough dancing. The movie was extremely boring with a very weak plot. I can usually take that if the dancing is strong and the music is grand. This movie lacked both. Truly disappointing.

5 out of 5 stars Master OF The RARE Laserdiscs Movies........2005-07-11

I have Lambada 1990 ON LASERDISC,'Tis a great Music/Romantic movie therefore I bought the DVD TOO :p

4 out of 5 stars HOTT !!!! Lambada.......2004-09-09

Hi! If you're into all sorts of dance and music videos, then you'll definately want to buy or rent this movie. I love the Lambada dance and the ethnic background it has so I LOVE the movie. The other Lambada movie is my favorite though. It has to do with a Brazilian girl making money dancing the Lambada in a club. GO WATCH the movie. it's a definate watch!!!! You wont regret.

This very sexy Brazilian dance is performed in close thigh-to-thigh, pelvis contact. You'll learn the rotating hip movements and how to improvise dips and swirls. It's a great dance to do with someone you really like.Vicki Regan teaches dancing the way she learned, step by step, one move at a time. Everything is carefully explained and demonstrated for both men and women. You'll start with the basics, then work your way up to combinations and moves that are easy to learn, but are very impressive on the floor.You'll learn in your own home, at your own convenience, and at your own pace. You can practice alone, with a partner, or invite a group of friends. It's good exercise and great fun. If you're a beginner, ten minutes into this DVD you'll be saying, "I can dance!" Vicki Regan has danced on Broadway and in the movies, and was National and North American Ballroom and Latin Dance Champion. She has taught many people including other dancer teachers and ballroom competitors. Ron De Vito, Vicki's teaching partner, is also an acclaimed Broadway dancer and a former National Ballroom Champion.

3 out of 5 stars Basic dance instruction from 1980s.......2006-08-24

This dvd was definitely done in the late 80s or very early 90s by looking at the garnish lighting, camerawork, makeup & clothing.
This is taught in about 50 min by a blonde, athletic, nicely spoken dancer with about 4 couples demonstrating the moves after every major point is taught. She teaches the basic step, lambada step, slide, turning & dipping.
It wasn't too boring, I definitely almost felt transported to a dance studio. The dance itself isn't hard to understand at all, an easy splice of merange, shuffling w/a lot of hip action & the man rubbing the woman's back instead of just holding it to make it look more complex then it is.
Becasue of it being old & production lightning is a little garnish (thouch can see everything) I took off a star. The teaching wasn't too slow & could have been a lot more cheesy & boring so I left most stars.
