This sweet vintage shirt showcases the spicy Latin partner dance the lambada, also known as the "forbidden dance". The dance originated in the state of Para in Brazil, and it gained quite the reputation in the 80s and early 90s, one which helped it to garner international popularity. Lambada incorporates aspects of several other Latin dances, such as salsa and merengue, but it also stands apart thanks to its sensual nature. The lambada's notoriety as the "forbidden dance" is largely thanks to the close proximity it requires between partners, the erotic hip movements, and its association with bordellos.

Interest in the dance peaked around the beginning of the 90s, largely thanks to Hollywood. The critical and commercial hit, Dirty Dancing had just been released in 1987, sparking the public's interest in ballroom dance and the intimacy it could offer. Then in 1990, two more drama dance films debuted, titled Lambada and The Forbidden Dance.
