After being popular for a short period, Lambada soon became disreputable and was called ‘the forbidden dance’. However, Lambada dancers continued dancing the Lambada to other music styles, such as the Caribbean zouk and also started calling the dance zouk to avoid the association with the Lambada. The slower zouk music had an impact on the fast Lambada movements and soon a new, more sensual and fluent dance style, emerged. Nowadays, Brazilian zouk is also often danced to popular music such as Pop, RnB and Reggaeton. Over the years, also the dance changed and new zouk styles evolved using elements of other dance styles such as ballet, modern dance and hip-hop. Brazilian zouk has spread from Brazil over many other countries in the world. The countries that are known for a lively zouk scene are Brazil, the Netherlands, Australia, England, Spain, USA, Israel, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, Thailand, Germany, Poland, France and Denmark.
