Interesting to note that Imams Nawawi and Al Suyuti (Allah Have Mercy on Their Souls) specifically mention and allow dancing. There is no contradiction here with other Fatawa because what is frowned upon is dancing that is effeminate. That explains the difference if one studies the rulings on this properly. https://baraka.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/dancing-and-sufi-dancing-according-to-the-shafi-madhab/ Allahu Alam
