Controversial Student Dance Performance Sparks Debate at Moroccan University

Poetry, singing, "chaabi" dance and theater were on the menu of this student event. The event was proceeding as planned without major incident. However, the performance of a young student quickly created a lively controversy. She danced to a "chaabi" song like a "cheikha".

A few moments later, a video showing the student’s performance was widely circulated on social media, much to the surprise of the student club.

The comments are unleashed on the web. Ultra-conservative preachers express their outrage. They consider the student’s dance as a satanic activity.
