How This DEAF Dancer HEARS the Music | The Happiness Stories

Shaheem has been deaf since the age of 4. Inspired by his late father, Shaheem picked up dancing at the age of 11 and hasn't quit since. He's learned to feel the beat, rather than hear the music. Despite the skeptics and the doubters, who don't trust that Shaheem can dance without music, Shaheem keeps on with his passion. Shaheem is here to prove everyone wrong, "...because you can doubt me if you want, but I'm gonna show you what's up."
Shaheem's amazing story is part of our collaboration with The Happiness Stories and director Ron Parida, who presents portraits of individuals who have been dealt life's toughest challenges, but who choose to persevere and do inspiring things.
