(FILES) In a file picture taken on December 10, 2005 Foreign Ministers’ spouses learn the steps of the “poco-poco” dance during a luncheon on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Kuala Lumpur. A top Islamic official in a Malaysian state has outlawed the popular poco-poco line dance, claiming on April 1, 2011 that it contained cult practices and elements of “Christian rituals” unacceptable to Muslims.
