Lifts are done only in demonstrations, not in actual ballroom dancing. The reason is perfect commonsense: if there's another couple on the floor, the woman being lifted is a ballistic missile.

What ballroom dances are you allowed to do lifts in?

You're not allowed to do lifts in competition. At least not in Australia.
You CAN do lifts in whatever dance you'd like to. I like them in Sambas, personally.
Having said that, I've never done a lift. If you can't do it in competition, I don't see the point. There are plenty of fun moves you can do that ARE allowed in competition though.
