A dance in Malaysia, called the poco-poco line dance, has just been officially not banned from the country. It is controversial in the mainly Muslim country because it can be associated with cult-like behavior and Christianity. However, the people who dance the poco-poco love it and do it for health reasons such as physical activity. One teacher of the poco-poco said "her students were mainly women who just "love to sweat with poco-poco movements and music." Although, just in case women were reminded to not dress sexy or intermingle with men when dancing.
It was said that the dance was not banned for health reasons, so people can get in their physical activity. I think it's great that the dance was not banned but there are many other ways people can get physical activity. Do you think there was something else at play here?
Here's the whole article.
