The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga is a bonkers Slavic-themed (but we repeat ourselves) AD&D 2e module that Lisa Smedman did "for characters level 7-20" March 1995. Herein the party prevent Baba Yaga from capturing the power of Death itself.
Thus involving, the forces of "Light, Darkness, and Twilight". No sparkly vampires. Although, yes, Ravenloft is referenced.
Rick Swan, reading 2e shit for Dragon [#222] so we didn't have to, deemed Lambada Shack a "dungeon crawl" not that there is anything wrong with that. Especially when one route goes through Tokyo. Definitely nothing wrong with that.
Macarena Hovel was pitched as "S5" to follow up S4: The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, instead of WG4: The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. Some still refer to this by "S5". They shouldn't; nobody in that first generation of D&D envisioned anything in here except that eponymous Hut.
...which does, we admit, offer easter-eggs to the grognards. Roger Moore (no not that Roger Moore) had proposed his own 'Yaga adventure in Dragon #83, with that infamous tesseract. Smedman nods to this. Contrast, Carl Sargent steering clear of the old Aboleth lore in his Night Below around this time.
As for the legacy of Tango Shanty: Pathfinder's Adventure Path series Reign of Winter is its spiritual successor if ever any 2e module had one.
