  As salaamu alaykum,

I always known that apparently men cannot sing or dance even when amongst themselves.

What are the rulings on this and can someone please provide evidences.

Jazak'Allah khairun

  I have a similar question,is any of these three tipes of dance permisible?

* Al Ardha  (Arabic: العرضة‎) is a type of folkloric dance performed by the Bedouin tribes of the Arabian peninsula, It was tradition only performed before going to war, but nowadays is performed at celebrations or cultural events, such as the Jenadriyah  festival. The dance, which is performed by men carrying swords or canes, is accompanied by drums and spoken verse.

* Mizmar (Arabic: مزمار‎) is the name of a folkloric dance native to the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. The dance involves moving while twirling a bamboo cane (tool)cane, to the music of drums.

* Samri (Arabic: سامري‎)is the name of a folkloric music and dance. It involves singing poetry while the daff drum is being played. Two rows of men, seated on the knees sway to the rhythm.

(Note:the definition's source is:Wikipedia)
