Top clerics in Malaysia permits poco-poco line dance.

However the Islamic experts had decided against a ban, paving the way for its free use.
Muslim women, however, have been reminded to not wear sexy clothes or to mix freely with men while dancing.
Harussani Zakaria, an elderly mufti from the northern state of Perak, declared that the "poco-poco" dance violated Islamic law and banned it.
Regardless of the Fatwa Council's decision the dance will remain banned in Perak as matters pertaining to Islam are covered by local law.
In Malaysia, many adults and children take part in the dance, which is considered a recreational activity to keep fit.
