We’ve got another international dance craze for your viewing pleasure today, and from the unlikeliest of places. Turns out a jauntily dubbed “The Penguin Dance” is real big in Saudi Arabia right now. You read that right—uber sexist, mega-conservative, infidel and atheist-hating Saudi Arabia is all a titter to wobble like ice-birds.
Revealing the lighter side of the kingdom, social media shares are huge for this trend to get funky on the dance floor. It may not be as over-the-top exuberant as a recent Spice Girl’s tribute by a group of exuberant men, but this clip does show some heartening scenes, including a father in traditional garb doing the Penguin dance with his modern-dressed daughter.
