Merriam–Webster lists the etymology as "English of Trinidad & Barbados akin to Jamaican English limba to bend, from English limber". It is conjectured that limbo is a West Indian English derivative of 'limber'. The word 'limbo' dates back to the 1950s. The contest ends when only one person can pass under the bar. After everyone has passed under the bar in this manner, the bar is lowered slightly and the contest continues. Whoever knocks the bar off or falls is eliminated. They must not turn their head or neck to the side. No part of their body is allowed to touch the bar, and no part other than their feet may touch the ground. When passing under the bar, players must bend backwards. All contestants must attempt to go under the bar with their backs facing toward the floor. It was popularized in the 1950s by dance pioneer Julia Edwards (known as the First Lady of Limbo) and her company which appeared in several films, in particular Fire Down Below (1957), and toured widely in the Caribbean, Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Africa in the 1960s and later.Ī horizontal bar, known as the limbo bar, is supported by two vertical bars. The dance originated as an event that took place at wakes in Trinidad. The aim is to pass forwards under a low bar without falling or dislodging the bar.
