FRANCE
Dirty Dancing, Ma Cherie?
</hdr><body>
<p> "After the new chastity, it's a return to sin," proclaimed
the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur. It is the lambada, a
sensuous dance that sets the pelvis-to-pelvis physicality of
Dirty Dancing to a steamy Brazilian beat. Spawned on the
northeast coast of Brazil, the lambada has swept through France
this summer. A soda commercial showing young bodies entwined in
a lambada frenzy was an instant hit, and Lambada, a song that
served as the ad's sound track, has sold more than 1 million
copies.
</p>
<p> The lambada is especially hot along the Cote d'Azur, where
touring Brazilian dancers are showing French vacationers how to
thrust their stuff. But is the lambada just this summer's hype?
"It will become a classic," declares singer Loalwa Braz. "And
it will be even more agreeable to dance in the winter. It's a
way to keep warm."
