Shafeek came to the UK four years ago after marrying his soul mate Tara in Cairo. They had both met through exceptional circumstances whilst performing together for an Egyptian musical in Sharm El Sheik.
Their relationship and work has fascinated many, and in 2008 alone they featured in three National publications (Sunday Express, Look Magazine and Spirit and Destiny Magazine). Using London as a base, Shafeek has become an internationally renowned performer, teacher and choreographer. He has also started the first stage school for Arabian dance arts in the world, which has been running successfully in London for over 2 years.
Shafeek is arguably one of the most creative and professional dancers to come from Egypt who has been influential in bringing Arabic dance to the forefront in Europe.
