'Poco-poco' dance outlawed in Malaysia
A top Islamic official in a Malaysian state has outlawed a popular line dance, 
called the "poco-poco", claiming that it contained cult practices and elements 
of "Christian rituals" unacceptable to Muslims.

Harussani Zakaria, mufti of the northern state of Perak, said the dance 
violated Islamic law. 

"The poco-poco dance is actually a cult dance," he said. "Our research 
indicates that the dance really originates from Jamaica and there are many 
Christian rituals to it as the moves reflect the making of a cross and so is 
unacceptable in Islam," he added. 

"The dance is also practised in the Philippines and parts of Indonesia which 
have a Christian majority and so the dances have many Christian influences, 
which clash with Islam," he said 

In Malaysia, many adults practise the dance, which is considered a recreational 
activity to keep fit. 

The origin of the "poco-poco" dance is believed to have originated in Indonesia 
more than 20 years ago to accompany a song of the same name.

It is also a Jamaican word which relates to a wild dance under the possession 
of spirits. 

In 2008, Malaysia's highest Islamic body, the National Fatwa Council, banned 
yoga for Muslims, saying it could erode their faith. 

But the decision triggered uproar from moderate Muslims, prompting then Prime 
Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to wade into the row, saying Muslims could do 
yoga as long as it had no Hindu spiritual elements.
