But her visit is in vain - she is prevented from arranging a meeting. Despondent and discouraged, Nisa accepts a job as a maid to make ends meet while she's in America. There, she falls in love with Jason (Jeff James), the handsome son of her employer. She teaches him the passionate and erotic dance of her home ... Lambada. Together they decide the only way to deliver the message to the American people is to enter a Lambada dance contest. But Jason's ex-girlfriend wants to prevent it, and the corporation wants to prevent it - and both are willing to stop at nothing to keep them off the dance floor. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Cheesy fun!Jul 10, 2004
By Mark Twain
"Sam"
The Forbidden Dance is a fun movie; badly acted, horribly directed and cheesy, yet strangely engrossing and loveable. It tries to be serious, but fails for the most part because everything about it is so dated. Yet, it is energetic and lively, with upbeat songs and very HOT dancing. You'll ultimately find yourself addicted, without knowing why. Fans of Laura Harring (Mulholland Dr.) should definitely seek this out to see her in an early role. It is much better than the similar Lambada, released in theaters on the same DAY in 1990!!! As fun trivia, Lambada producers sued successfully to have the word "lambada" removed from "The Forbidden Dance"'s official title, though only "The Forbidden Dance" uses the song "Lambada" which launched the short-lived dance craze. The title is now used for the DVD release.

 PASSION PLUS+Aug 03, 2004
By SHELBY
I LOVE this movie. The songs are so sultry. The dancing is so full of passion. When you watch this it puts you in THE MOOD-for real. If you want to jumpstart your relationship, watch this movie!! The music makes you want to dance which in my case led to more.. Does anyone know how to get this soundtrack???

sizzling!Nov 05, 2004
By Dark Delights
I love this movie. I seen it when it first came out in 90 and fell in love with it. So I bought it. The music itself will make you get outta your seat and start dancing right then and there.
But the Lambada dance itself is enticing and will have you craving for a dancing partner at the very moment.
I give it 4 stars, also it sends out the cheezy cliche message about "if you want something bad enough, go and get it"

Aside from how attractive I personally find the lead actress, this movie is a complete and utter waste of time. Period.

Best Ever Salsa Movie!Sep 07, 2005
By Ms. Tina
When I think of this movie I think of Excitement! I have a great passion for dance, all types but when I first saw this movie I had to be about 12 years old,(I'm 21 now)and then I knew it would be my favorite for a while. Sure Save the last dance, Dance with me, and Dirty Dancing will all be classics to mine, but this movie is different, Nisa was so passionate when she danced, and Jason had the same passion, and when they danced together they released a sense of warmth. I really love this movie, for any young couples who love to dance watch it at night by the fire place, and appreciate a good dance movie!
