Femø

Femø is a Danish island north of Lolland. The island covers an area of 11.38 km². Femø has 154 inhabitants (1 January 2005).

Women's camp

Every year since 1971 women have met and spent their holiday together in the north-east corner of the island. Initially attracting women from all parts of the women's rights movement, more recently it has primarily attracted lesbians, although all women are welcome. Most weeks are solely for Danish women but an 'international' week takes place once each year bringing women from all over Europe. In 2005 it was decided to open the camp to MTF women (who were born male), so long as they have proper identification. This was a major historical step as it had been discussed a number of times previously but always voted against by the majority of the members of the camp.

Each summer more than 250 women visit Kvindelejren (Danish for "the women's camp") lasts about 8–9 weeks every summer, starting with the "building-up-the-camp-week" where all the main tents are erected; the kitchen-, bar-, children's-, toilet- and the four sleeping-tents. During the summer all weeks have different themes, including a children's week, a sports week, a body & soul week, one or two international weeks, a crealternative week, a debateweek, and the final week where the tents and the entire camp are taken down and packed away for the winter.

Lambada

Lambada ( pronunciation ) is a dance from Pará, Brazil. Lambada is an Afro-Brazilian dance authentic to people of Black/African descent who brought much of their music and dance culture with them into Brazil upon arrival into the country during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Afro-Brazilian dance became internationally popular in the 1980s, especially in Latin America and Caribbean countries. It has adopted aspects of dances such as forró, salsa, merengue, maxixe and the carimbó.

Lambada is generally a partner dance. The dancers generally dance with arched legs, with the steps being from side to side, turning or even swaying, and in its original form never front to back, with a pronounced movement of the hips. At the time when the dance became popular, short skirts for women were in fashion and men wore long trousers, and the dance has become associated with such clothing, especially for women wearing short skirts that swirl up when the woman spins around, typically revealing 90s-style thong underwear.
