The Forbidden Dance
LAMBADA...If it got any hotter, it wouldn't be dancing!
Directed by Greydon Clark
Produced by 21st Century Film Corporation, Columbia Pictures
A buoyant 1990s romance built around dance, environmental activism, and cross-cultural attraction, where a jungle princess and a wealthy Angeleno team up to save the rainforest through lambada competition.
A princess in the Amazon rain forests tries to fight a conglomerate threatening the forests by going to Los Angeles. There she links up with a rich kid who tells her that she must get on television to succeed with her mission. Quick as a wink, the two come up with the idea of winning a lambada dance contest.
