The feet of young people stopped dancing to the tune of “Barbes”, a local dance launched by a group of “YouTube” stars, which called in its simple words for young people to dance for happiness and joy, to release their hands this time for the “dab” dance, which came to express joy. Also, the difference between the two is that the former we exported to the world while the latter we imported from abroad after it invaded the whole world.
The “dab” was born in America, moved to Europe, and then found a great spread at home.
“It is not important that you export or import, the important thing is that you unleash your pent-up energies in an expressive way.” This is the conviction of the new generation, which considers playing music and the accompanying dances to be an urgent need that is driven by the youth’s vigor and energies, which must express what is inside them in some way.
The new dance is one of the "hip-hop" dances based on a simple principle of lowering the head and raising the hand by the dancer at the same time, and it is very similar to your reaction when you sneeze, as you put your head near your shoulder.
This dance is not old, but rather very modern, and it has taken on a popular character according to the majority of opinions because of the “Migos” dancer trio, whose song achieved great success, and experts return it to the desire of social networks to see something new every once in a while.
There is no point in the dance or an idea, just like "Gangnam Style", something new to attract attention and achieve media success because the "hip-hop" audience is not classic, loves the new, and loves those who are about to change.
This dance has found greater popularity in local and international sports circles, among players or even the public, and the only reason that has linked dab dance to sports is that it is rising in social networks and has moved to celebrations and parties, and when we talk about sports we are talking about young people, and they are interested and affected by this issue .
And some young people consider it a kind of public relations with some stars, not all of them, which pushed the dance to become something popular in a short period.
Young people consider that dancing is part of the expression of happiness and freedom alike, and it is a legitimate right for all, especially since dance has been associated with youth from ancient times and is not born today, as tribes from ancient times practiced folk dance in their weddings and public occasions, and today’s generation is not ashamed to dance at different times. The rhythm of the days changed.
The young Rakan Al-Suwaidi said that the "dab" dance attracted him for the first time when it was danced by a local player in the Saudi League, and after it caught his attention, he searched for it on the Internet to find out its source after that, and from here it began to spread, and Rakan does not see at the same time a defect in it. Performing it in front of people, as dancing is an expression of happiness, and is linked to the psychological state of a person, which is a pleasant thing, as adults have also practiced it.
As for Ali Al-Ghamdi, he is a fan of European sports, and he was familiar with the dance before it reached Saudi Arabia and found widespread among the youth. Local, especially among the audience, who used to dance it collectively when their team achieved victory, and it was beautiful movements performed collectively.
Al-Ghamdi affirms that dance is part of human happiness, and it is usually spread among young people, as they are the most vibrant and outgoing segments of society, and dance is an expression of the beautiful life.
The young Haitham Al-Hinnawi says that young people face a lot of criticism for their dances that they perform every time, although he and his peers do not see anything wrong with that, and the “dab” is light movements that have recently spread among them and mean nothing but confirmation of victory or victory, whether in a specific game or During their football performance, the criticism they face from others about dancing does not mean anything to them. “Dancing is a human instinct, and it begins with him from childhood and in childhood, as the child dances without anyone teaching him, and although many people tried to associate the dance with the (dab) ) with some bad ethics in behavior, but that link is incorrect, and does not affect reality, it is artistic and dance movements that started from the hip-hop group, and spread among football players, and moved to our stadiums, whether at the level of players or the audience, and it does not mean that the young man is outside On public morals, if he launched these movements in a public place, or among his colleagues, then it is only an expression of joy and victory.
Al-Hinnawi wonders: Why does our society always exaggerate things and give them more than their size, just as it always stands in front of the new habits of young people, and we do not know the reason for that.
For her part, Afnan Al-Aidi criticized the youth’s blind imitation of everything that is published on YouTube and social networking sites, as she said: Young people should not be led by every phenomenon that spreads on social networking sites, and she added, “I do not like seeing young people gather in the streets to perform this kind of Dances, because this is a reckless act, and an imitation of something that is not worthy. Rahaf Al-Ghamdi pointed out the necessity of not giving these simple phenomena greater than their size, so what if the youth danced? What would happen if they danced, photographed, and published this on social media? As long as this does not violate laws and public morals, it should not be opposed. Stop trying to limit the behavior of young people according to your limited thinking, and preoccupy yourselves with discussing larger issues of concern to the whole world. Suhair Abdullah supported her, saying: "Every year a new dance appears and spreads strongly to be forgotten after the passage of time." She considered this a natural thing, especially among adolescents, as young people tend to imitate this type of phenomenon and become attached to it for short periods.

Abdullah Al-Marwani told “Okaz”: “These criticisms that we hear day after day about new youth phenomena, we do not pay attention to.
