Answer

LIMBO

Limbo has fascinating dual meanings. In Christian theology, it refers to an intermediate state between heaven and hell, particularly for unbaptized infants.

It also describes any uncertain transitional state, and separately, a Caribbean dance where participants bend backward to pass under a progressively lowered bar.
