Hi, Salif.
Hi.
Am I saying it right, Salif?
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah, yeah.
So I saw that video and everybody was so nonchalant.
Everybody's just drinking their coffee
and you're just dancing by them.
Aren't people impressed in Paris?
I don't know.
I mean, maybe they say [INAUDIBLE]..
We know him.
Yeah, do they all know you there?
Because you dance on the streets a lot.
Yeah, I dance on the streets everywhere.
Yeah, so they're like there's Salif again.
[LAUGHTER]
Maybe.
So-- and Michael Jackson is like,
obviously, a huge inspiration to you.
Yeah, since I am three years old,
I mean, he changed a lot of things and he's the greatest.
He was pretty amazing.
Did you go to-- did you take dance lessons?
No.
I learned by myself.
Just this is all you?
I've never seen anything so smooth as that kind of glide
that you did.
Even tWitch was like looking at that like that was incredible.
So then you obviously get tips.
You make money by doing that?
Yeah.
What's the best day you've had?
The best day I had was the day before this day.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
I was-- I lost my phone and so I danced on the street
at Salazar in Paris.
And I get paid about 1,400 the first-- one day, in one day.
1,400?
I danced alone.
Yeah.
And after that, I go to a Apple store to buy a new phone.
Now you've got a phone.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
I say [INAUDIBLE].
So yeah, it was crazy, you know?
So what-- people give you other things, though.
I heard people don't give you only money.
They give you some really strange things.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
Tell me.
Because I know what they are.
Tell people what they give you.
I [INAUDIBLE] with [INAUDIBLE] sometimes.
They give me a [INAUDIBLE],, or they give me
a phone number sometimes.
And weird things too.
You know when you do something, you get a date with someone
and you need to protect yourself?
Right, they give you those things to protect yourself.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
Yes.
They're like, oh, he's going to get a lot.
Let's give him some of these.
All right, so I can't wait to see you.
I mean, just watching you on that video was just
so impressive.
So please perform for us.
Is that real?
Is what real?
It's you?
It's me.
Yes, yes.
No, no, because you know I--
dreams come true, you know?
I never thinking I would be here one day, you know?
And wow, It's very amazing.
Yeah, well you're amazing.
I want to thanks for--
You're pretty special, so--
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Thanks.
All right, you'll dance?
[APPLAUSE]
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[MUSIC - MICHAEL JACKSON, "BLACK OR WHITE"]
(SINGING) Don't tell me you agree with me
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
But if you're thinking about my baby,
if don't matter if you're black or white.
I said if you're thinking of being my baby,
it don't matter if you're black or white.
I said, if you're thinking of being my brother,
it don't matter if you're black or white.
Oh, yeah.
[CHEERING]
It's black.
It's white.
[INAUDIBLE]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Black or white--
It's black.
It's white.
It's tough for them to get by.
It's black.
It's white.
It's black.
It's white.
It's tough for you to get by.
It's black.
It's white.
[CHEERING]
I mean, come on.
What?
Thank you so much.
What?
Oh my god, incredible.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Incredible.
Thank you.
All right, OK, you keep dancing.

I want to post every video that you do.
We want to keep you out there and people to see you.
And also I got you something to wear next time you--
