Teenager Arrested In Saudi For Dancing In The Street 

Dubai: Saudi police on Tuesday arrested a 14-year-old boy who was filmed dancing at a street crossing in the Red Sea city of Jiddah. The video, which went viral on social media, shows the boy swaying his hips and arms to the 90s hit song "Macarena" and is smiling and giggling throughout his dance.

The boy was took into custody as he disrupted traffic and showed "improper public behaviour”. It is said that the police were preparing to refer him to prosecutors for disrupting traffic. Western music and dancing is taboo in Saudi Arabia but such incidents in the past have not necessarily led to lengthy imprisonment or serious punishment.
