How This DEAF Dancer HEARS the Music | The Happiness Stories

[@tamerunrob6510]

I am sooo happy you are representing for Deaf people and showing your talent . I am hard of hearing and remember my teacher telling me not to come back to school if i did not wear my hearing aides . I did not like them because everything was too loud . My teacher did not understand at all! God bless you and continue to shine !

[@k4l516]

this is why you should never give up. he is strong and he believed he could do it so he did. i hope all your dreams come true. have a nice day :).

[@galuksi]

hello, it's satan i lile how your name is satan amd you just gave a positve comment 😂

[@bashirbappah8122]

deaf at 4 and still speaking clearly, awesome.

[@paigenoelle02]

bashir bappah ya I was confused about that too

[@TheMovieMyLife]

I'd guess it's because he became deaf at 4, by which point most people who aren't deaf can already speak clearly which then means that his memory of how a lot of words are pronounced has served him well.

[@damarisi5805]

bashir bappah speaking clearly? To me it actually really sounded like a deaf man. He doesn't spell the S right, the T, the D..

[@rockdiva67]

Syra Madeily well, he is speaking clearly for a deaf person

[@RoseyMorearty]

Actually, there are many deaf people that can be taught to speak. Even Hellen Keller, who was blind as well, was able to be taught to speak fairly well and give a speech.

[@fjalls]

"I feel it, not hear it" He is a dancer, a REAL dancer.

[@Johannesburg777]

Exactly. Music isn't just about hearing. You feel it. When you feel that beat, deep in your soul, you move.

[@vickyfisher2139]

@@Johannesburg777 Also, dancing is not tied to music, it is something you feel (through proprioceptive and kinesthetic sensation). Dance and music can obviously go together but they also exist beyond each other and both explore more than just rhythm - which is itself a physical entity - energy moving in space! (I'm a dancer and embodied cognition researcher)

[@ceesantanaa]

This is amazing. I have no idea why I forget that deaf people can literally feel the beat. My mind makes it seem like they're just unable. I'm so happy he's doing what he loves!

[@Chronomatrix]

I'm very impressed on how well he can talk.

[@niennav.7741]

Gerdronex cause he already learned to talk before became deaf, kids by 4 already got the talking learned.

[@jar594]

Nienna V. still it very difficult to speak so good as he does just because he used to speak doesnt meen it was easy for him to speak after becoming deaf

[@Ngelic]

Gerdronex I was thinking that as well.

[@niasmith4255]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@carmell51]

You are so graceful and natural in your dance. I never think deaf as I watch. I just think beauty. You have a gift from God has it for him. God bless you!

[@vintage951]

Thank you for promoting accessibility by adding subtitles. It makes a world of difference to people who are hearing-impaired, and to other people that require subtitles.

[@wandraharmsen]

I am so happy for this young man, that he has found his passion and is living it to the best of his ability. How many of us can say the same?

[@xmielj]

Thank you Shaheem. You're amazing ☺

[@Participant]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Izzy_Walker]

He is amazing!! I learned about his story when his little brother was on So You Think You Can Dance Kids.

[@AgentP-i8b]

I love this video! My 3 year old nephew was born profoundly hard of hearing and my hearing family has embraced the deaf culture and are learning sign language. He gets speech therapy and asl classes and interacts with other deaf and HH kids and adults. It's I inspiring to see how hard this man works to fulfill his passion and do what he loves.

[@pattykochenower4222]

This was beautiful!!! He’s amazing!!!

[@roxb808]

The power of perseverance is strong in this young man. Beautiful video. Mahalo for sharing! Wish I could give it a thumbs up a million times. 👍😊

[@Participant]

Why hasn't KZbin made this "million thumbs up" a feature yet??? Thanks so much for watching ;)

[@vanessakane3363]

He is awesome! Really motivating man.

[@maureennduta2151]

OMG this is so unbellevable this guy has actually showed me I can dance big up #Blessed

[@zoie406]

I'm deaf. I can speak. I can feel/hear the music.

[@veronicaleslie4122]

Zoie me too lol

[@EMWoodworking]

My wife is deaf from birth. She speaks clearly and most don’t realize she’s deaf.

[@JenniferPerez-z5v]

I’m glad you show the world that deaf and hard of hearing can do it you prove them wrong. Can do it

[@ranatamir]

That just shows how you should never doubt yourself and let people's talk let you down and that no matter what you can do it no matter the condition you are in if you believe that you can do it you will definitely do it

[@niennav.7741]

wow not a single dislike, I never though I would see that in KZbin. This is awesome. great video.

[@sayamasdq428]

Nienna V. Yeah I was wondering the same

[@QOArkaria]

Well there is one now ;-;

[@niennav.7741]

Kawaii Satan I swear there's heartless people out there hating for no good reason. who the hell and why can someone dislike this video....smh

[@quanaj4780]

Nienna V. They wanted to hit the thumbs up, hit the other by accident.

[@caitlynkaufholz4015]

[@justme-ui7vm]

He is amazing! And we should all learn from him how to (never give up on us cause there is a star sleeping in each one of us)

[@senasena6612]

Goes to show dance is truely about feeling

[@craydoug7201]

I feel they should put Beethoven in this he MADE music while he was deaf. Big respect for him dancing deaf fricking amazing.

[@nicki-08]

he speaks softly well OMG my heart! he's pretty handsome too 😍😭😭😏😏😍😇🙌😂😭

[@germangirltrish5135]

I absolutely LOVE your heart Shaheem💖💖 keep pressing towards your dreams and goals 🙇

[@Chanisya]

Super crazy cool!! I loved his moves, so enjoyable to watch. Good for you!! Keep doing what you're doing!! I wish I could see it in person😀

[@domzjb5053]

he speaks so well

[@s.o8571]

He is really attractive

[@prettyprie6777]

I love him💖💖💖he is so unique😍😍

[@whohimiz5898]

OMG It's Shaheem!! I follow him on insta...my heart ❤️❤️❤️

[@eclarko86]

Nothing but big love for u my guy 💙 u r the best and yo lil brother definitely is inspired by you he has your whole swag

[@merelhogeloon6532]

never give up, you always can do what you want

[@andjelanikolic2312]

I think I'm in love with this man

[@mabelszeto1800]

why wouldn't someone not be able to dance with out hearing the music? if you ever played and instrument or stood next to a loud object you can feel the music, and honestly that in some ways makes your dancing better, I think that it is awesome that he dances even though he is deaf and people shouldn't assume that he can do less because he is deaf

[@eleanor9367]

How come his full name isn't in the description...much less the TITLE!!?? He deserves recognition beyond a "happiness story". He's got a youtube channel, I don't see you linking that up. Let's watch, be happy and SUPPORT! Watching and liking this video is only supporting this channel, which is great for exposure but come on, lets give him some credit too

[@sanjeevansinha7023]

I was waiting to see him 💃 to the beat

[@maddyjdupuis]

This is seriously awesome.

[@SaphPea]

this warmed my heart

[@rojdatemur67]

Get him to the ellen show

[@zoie406]

Megs Hemliga yess!!

[@mistyspiker7657]

He should be on Ellen show or any tv talk show i think he's that good! Awesome

[@tabeakohler5770]

wow so inspirational

[@krownvick8546]

I believe in him.....yoooo that should say alot just by how his speech is hes been deaf since for and he speaks very clear not many deaf people do it's hard since you cant hear but he made it possible like he's say they can do it too it's all about equality no matter what situation

[@DancersGlobal]

Much love Shaheem!

[@BlaxicanBeautyTV333]

Dancing and sign language intersect if you think about it :)

[@MainDoorFrames]

Maryam ya singing is the music of voice and dancing is the singing of sign

[@zoie406]

This video inspired me a lot. ❤️❤️

[@heikesworld9320]

This is awesome, Love it 😊

[@TK-cw4yi]

Great guy.❤️Inspiring

[@anni613]

What a character 😊

[@JenniferPerez-z5v]

You got talent your amazing

[@marinalourenco5929]

Sooooo handsome and talented 😍

[@Farbissima]

What is the music during the whole video??? It's as awesome as this guy!

[@stivellecastel9213]

I thought everyone could feel the music. I'm surprised to see that so many are surprised. Some people learn to speak by feeling the vibration of voices.

[@alannajohnson5043]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO.

[@ItsEmmahh]

So inspirational wow!

[@JJ-oc6gh]

0 dislike? Wow that's amazing!

[@remystic_spirit]

I really hope that he wasn't forced to speak in this video. It sounds like he's been forced to speak otherwise though. Which is a sad reality for many deaf folks. So commenting that "he speaks really well" its a back handed compliment because people are expecting him to meet them where they're at instead of meeting him where he's at.

[@myhappylife56]

Yesssss Feel it, not hear it. Thank you

[@mistargrr]

I'd like to see a greater detailed explanation of how the deaf dancer hears music.

[@dejapowell3285]

lov u shaheem

[@biggypoppa1805]

i got a laugh when he said deaf people are no different....except they cant hear lol (yes i know he meant they can dance just as good)

[@aejei]

can deaf people feel music by vibration?

[@niennav.7741]

AnonymousOnion I saw a documentary about a boy who felt the vibration so I guess is possible

[@caitlyndautrich6689]

AnonymousOnion yes, a lot of deaf people like to turn music up really loud so they can feel the vibrations

[@zoie406]

AnonymousOnion yep! (I'm deaf)

[@QOArkaria]

This video literally answered that...

[@caitlynkaufholz4015]

The video answered that.

[@ExtractK]

Fine... He is gorgeous. That is all🙃

[@1perle]

How powerful...

[@Lovesall_pugmixes]

Shaheem you're cool

[@zsuzsisz9263]

awesom guy❤❤❤

[@nourben5121]

Amazing 😚❤💪

[@talarmond]

Amazing

[@PatrickJRedBoar]

in plain sense yes we are all equal... but there are aspects to people that we are not all equal... and my personal belief towards deaf people dancing because they can't hear with their ears being equal to people who dance because they can hear with their ears... not equal. persoanlly I believe they deaf people would have the advantage and those who can hear with their ears are at a disadvantage. because..... most people take things for granted and in a sense, concerning hearing, people who can hear with their hears are creatures ore deaf than those who cant hear with their ears... think about it. this inspires me to be more in tune with each of my senses and not take any for granted. to feel sound not just with the ability to hear with my ears. concerning dancing, I feel music is more than the sound we hear, it is what we can feel. they say let the music move you...

[@C.kirk1287]

Your soooo damn amazingly phenomenal 🙌🏽❤️💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@theknottiefam4967]

Who watching in 2019? Btw you are so talented 🔥

[@louisechampagne1509]

c,est incroyable je te comprend moi meme je fait de la faible paralésie cérébrale depuis ma naissance j,ai quand meme danser et enseigné la danse est ma clé de continué a vivre,

[@cleobanks6157]

What's the name of the song in the video?

[@LoofTroop]

3 People have ultra hearing abilities

[@kirabovideosyoutubejoselyn6262]

You inspire me shaheem

[@briannagrasty5201]

I think its unique

[@greatchoice166]

Wellll ihve been inspired

[@quanaj4780]

Moral of the story... Wanna know how to dance, FEEL THE MUSIC!

[@gangatalishis]

why we got subtitles, you can understand him clearly.

[@bebopanda4622]

gangatalishis so other deaf people can understand him

[@Emily-jg4eo]

gangatalishis also, some people who don't have english as their mother tongue might not understand him as clearly since he does mumble a bit.

[@MattyPMoonboarding]

ROFL

[@jazzyroly]

gangstalishis so other people dealing with hearing loss can read what he's saying

[@weluvb5]

plus as a person who's deaf that's speaking, simple words and specific silent letters like 's' or 'g' aren't pronounced so it sounds muted to us.

[@kamileishon]

Really interesting!

[@mbalideilest3230]

that was inspiring

[@PhoenixPeting]

did he feel the acute pain of tattoos with even more pain and vibrations?

[@reece2914]

What's the name of the song???

[@warcraftwarcraft]

Whats the name of the song ?

[@haleyhernandez1101]

Is he holding a speaker? or is that a technical advancement for the deaf and hearing music?

[@vxrychxrry]

holy shit he talks so well damn

[@jordannebrown8573]

He's so cute tho

[@lindzay5359]

1:40 dzab

[@bbreviewsmoviesattemptscom6382]

I want to dance with him.

[@oliviadooley5427]

I’m partially deaf and people treat me like I’m four years old and I love to dance and then they keep on asking do u want me to turn the music up and it just frustrates me because I’m no different to them and there no different to me

[@merelhogeloon6532]

if you ar a dancer like him ar like me you feel the music and not hear it.. if you ar deaf you also can dance or do other things, (im not deaf but i am only a dancer)

[@Dollsfromlondon]

He is finnnnnnne

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

Noise is vibration pple do feel vibration they just dont view it THAT way

[@jaylj0710]
