Zouk-Lambada has origins in Lambada, a partner dance favoured in Brazil and beyond from the 1980s onward. As Lambada music became rarer, the dance style began to fall out of favour.
When Caribbean Zouk music styles became more popular throughout Brazil, the Lambada style of partnered dancing combined with modern dance styles created the Zouk-Lambada style.
Zouk-Lambada is characterised by graceful and fluid movements and whipping motion with the hair.
