Egyptian police have arrested four students who stripped to their underwear and publicly danced the ‘Harlem Shake’ – a convulsive dance style made popular by an online video which has gone viral.
The four pharmaceutical students shocked residents in Cairo when they removed most of their clothes and filmed themselves performing the thrusting moves, a police official said.
Neighbours started to assault the students who are accused of committing a ‘scandalous act’. Egypt has strict public indecency laws.
The dance craze was sparked by a group of Australian teenagers who uploaded the 31-second clip called The Harlem Shake v1 (TSCS original) onto YouTube earlier this month.
It has since been viewed more than 16million times and has taken the internet by storm similar to the dance craze Gangnam Style.
The Harlem Shake, originally called the albee, is a dance introduced in 1981 by a Harlem resident and street dancer named Al B.
It became known as the Harlem Shake due to its popularity in the neighbourhood.
