Lambada is a 1990 American drama film starring J. Eddie Peck, Melora Hardin, Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quiñones, Ricky Paull Goldin, Dennis Burkley, and Keene Curtis. Directed and written by Joel Silberg and choreographed by Shabba-Doo, the film combines a dramatic narrative with vibrant dance sequences centered around the lambada—a provocative and trendy dance style of the time.
Released on the same day as its rival film The Forbidden Dance, Lambada failed to win over critics or audiences, though it was generally considered "the better of the two."
