Watch: Saudi Arabian Drivers Start Dancing While Waiting At Traffic Stop

Two Saudi Arabian men were arrested for dancing in the middle of a street while they waited for the traffic light to turn green.

According to authorities in the Saudi city of Unaizah, their attention was drawn to the incident after a clip of three men dancing in the middle of the street went viral on social media. In the clip, two men were initially seen breaking into a move on a busy street, in the space between their immobile cars. Both of them wore traditional outfits - a Qamis, or Thobe, which is a white or black long-sleeved robe, paired with a red and white checkered scarf worn on the head, Step Feed reported.

After the two men danced for a few seconds, one of them – carrying a mobile phone in one hand – slipped back into the driving seat of his vehicle. The second man was then seen rushing over to the vehicle on the other side and inviting a third man to dance with him. The third man obliges and the 22-seconds-long clip cuts off with the two men bursting into an array of moves. It is unclear if the third man was arrested.

Although the clip itself was hilarious, it drew a lot of criticism from social media users. “The public road belongs to all, and there is no place for the misguided where is the respect of public morality? Where do you respect the system? Where do you respect the general taste? These behaviors must be deterred and punished by the general boundaries,” one user wrote, while another wrote, "What they did was shameless, they deserve what they got.”

However, there were also those who were not bothered by the drivers’ dance moves. “What's so wrong with this?” tweeted one user.

This was not the first time that a Saudi Arabian resident was arrested for dancing in a public place. In 2017, a teenager was arrested for swinging to the “macarena” song at a zebra crossing in the Jeddah area in Saudi Arabia. The authorities arrested the 14-year-old 13 months after the incident happened, when a clip of his dancing went viral on social media.
