Product Description ------------------- A sizzling underground dance culture collides with a world of wealth and privilege in this story ofhot moves, fiery passions and sexual intrigue. With its steamy, expertly choreographed dance sequences, Lambada takes dirty dancing farther than it has ever gone before! By day, Kevin Laird teaches at a chic Beverly Hills high school but by night, he sets the dance floor on fire at an East L.A. lambada club. Kevin's sexy moves earn him the respect of the tough barrio dropouts attending his high-school equivalency classes. But when a seductive student exposes Kevin's secret double life, she threatens to bring down everything he's worked for. .com ---- Lambada has its heart in the 1950s and the rest of its anatomy in the 1980s. It's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, like Flashdance ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JKG5/${0} ), in all but name. Kevin, a.k.a. "Blade" (J. Eddie Peck), is a math teacher by day, dancer/G.E.D. instructor by night. Sandy (Melora Hardin) is the kind of student Sting warned about in "Don't Stand So Close to Me." There's his dangly earring and her hair gel. There's her lunkhead boyfriend, who looks like Top Secret!-era Val Kilmer, and Blade's lambada nemesis, Ramon. And, oh yeah, Blade is Latino. Sound familiar? It is. Lambada is cheesy as all get out and doesn't have an original idea in its body. It's also a sure-to-be-guilty pleasure for fans of Footloose ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JKYI/${0} ) and other 1980s flicks with big beats and misunderstood heroes. It isn't as good, but it's still a hoot. And there's lots of steamy Lambada dancing in the nightclub scenes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
