The original Forbidden Dance was the Carimbo, which was a two-beat dance style, close to the Merengue, but with more spins. Actually, it was the music (a mix of traditional Caribbean and new wave electronic) that was known as Lambada first. Then, the music and the dance switched from a two-beat style to a four-beat style. This new style was influenced by the Forro, which is an old traditional Brazillian dance. The distinctive step for the Lambada is arched legs, and a side to side step (never front to back!!).
Yeah. Lambada!
