Synopses for Lambada (1990)
1.
Lambada has its heart in the 1950s and the rest of its anatomy in the 1980s. It's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, like Flashdance, 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 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

Kevin is an unassuming Beverly Hills high school teacher by day, but by night he helps East Los Angeles dropouts meet the requirements for their equivalency exam in the backroom of a lambada club. To gain the respect of these toughs, Kevin must first strut his stuff on the dance floor, where unexpectedly, he has the hippest moves around. When one of his sexy Beverly Hills students learns of his secret night identity, the plot thickens, and his hot dancing is the cause of some steamy sexual intrigue.
