Yes! YES!
I have not seen Shafeek do particular this but I know he is very expressive as well as being the ultimate showman too sometimes.
He is not afraid to take on a song. By this I mean dance with the emotion of the lyrics in mind, rather than them being incidental and just part of the music.
Now I know what to ask him to do for the Arab Arts Festival Sahlalla show.
