Forbidden Passion

The Forbidden Dance (also known by its full promotional title The Forbidden Dance is Lambada) is a 1990 American drama film starring former Miss USA Laura Harring in her first major acting role. It was produced by Menahem Golan's 21st Century Film Corporation as a quick attempt to capitalize on the brief but intense Lambada dance craze that had swept parts of the U.S. following the release of the song "Lambada" by the French-Brazilian pop group Kaoma.
