A beautiful picture of love across cultures and an inspiring story of a person reaching for their dreams. I remember being profoundly moved, tears running down my face, when I first saw this segment. His humility humbled me and left me speechless; his girlfriend's quiet generosity and faith reminded me of the person who convinced me that my own long-abandoned dreams were worth a shot. So glad to see this happen to such a deserving person.
Well Done SHAFIKI, you show people that if you really want it you can do it with all the limitations you have in your country. Also that people should realize and stop whinning because they actually have more opportunity than a lot of people on the other side of the world. Glad to know that you received a free workshop from the show
Does anybody knows what's the name of the song who played at the moment they told Shafiki to leave in the first bootcamp ?? PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY WANT TO KNOW :$
p.s. He can dace very good, but I don't think he is very allround....
Zal vast een aardige knul zijn maar ik vond er geen zak aan.Beetje gekke sprongen maken en over de vloer rollen.Puur door drama filmpje vantevoren gaat iedereen "goed"roepen.Zo doorzichtig.
for all those who where laughing in the beginning i got 2 words fuck you , i have a lots but really a lots off respect for you shafik you danced with you'rre heart and that's what's dancing about you showed whole belgium and the netherlands how they really must do this , man really from the first time i saw you on the TV i said this guy is gonna make it i hope you did it well @ the bootcamp and that you get to the liveshows guzz you really deserve it man !! grtz from turnhout belgium
@kimdolfin he did workshops in america...and why would dan karaty know him? i mean there are way better dancers in america than this guy. he suppose to smell talent from far way?
WOW !!! He is an incridible amazing dancer !! And I know what I'm talking about. Shafiki can become a star in dance. He has everything for that. I wish him good luck and I realy hope he can realize his dream. Thank you so much Roeleke for sharing this with me. I love it. Favs *****
heb je ook die video van die jongen die vroeger een hit had bij kinderen voor kinderen. hij dacht dat hij goddelijk dansde. PLZZ IK WIL DIE VIDEO NOG EEN KEER ZIEN
Brought tears to my eyes. It's so wonderful to see such humbleness and outstanding talent on this planet. In this world, so many have completely taken so much for granted. God bless this dancer, this man for being such a true inspiration to us all. If anyone ever deserved to win, it would be this gift to all the world - a man who dances from the heart with deep passion and desire. Outstanding is an understatement! Brilliant is more like it!
I enjoyed your dance so very much last Sunday! You are dance!
And Jacqueline, I think you did such a good thing to give Shafiki the chance to come here and show his talent in So you think you can dance! So proud of you! :-)
wat een respect heb ik voor hem !
