Gabriel Francisco

Choreographer | DJ | Master Teacher



Starting with Zurich, Switzerland in the summer of 2000, Gabriel and a small number of other presenters slowly created, from the ground up, the studio workshop and dance camp infrastructure which led to the current scene and pathways that all International teachers utilize.



Being one of the first International Hip Hop and House teachers in Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, Ireland, Romania, and beyond, Gabriel has been instrumental in both the founding and continual support of those professional dance communities.

Soul Moves


SoulĀ MovesĀ is about the love of music and the bridge between the sound and the body. Holistic movement inspired thought and a greater connection with our own individuality and connection to the Movement Universe is the future and link between the 'dancer' and the 'yogi'.

Soul Moves is the future. 8 counts and choreography have their place, but the next level in dancer development is found in freedom and feeling.


"Throughout my 15 years I have begun to see the truth behind the movement, within the music, and have learned from my success and failure to forge new styles for a new generation of conscious dancers."


-GF

DJ


Presenting the best of Trap and Deep House...


No one knows more about what a dance floor needs than a dancer! As a DJ, creating and maintaining a fun, dynamic and eclectic environment comes natural. Often going from "opener" to "headliner" in one rotation, hit Gabriel's Soundcloud account and hear what a real night out can sound like.


Styles




Soul Moves

Holistic movement inspired thought and a greater connection with our own individuality and connection to the Movement Universe is the future and link between the 'dancer' and the 'yogi'.


Trap Grooves

As the name says, this class is all about the Groove, the lost art of dance. In this class, we get back to the basics, core movement, party dances and pure fun!



Super Hero Hip Hop

Combining science fiction and fantasy with advanced dance technique and a raw interpretation of Hip Hop, dancers are transformed. Strength, speed and subtlety meld in a no limits class style.


Contemporary Hip Hop

A style of movement that fuses the connection and beauty of Contemporary dance to the musicality and techniques of Hip Hop. This class style embodies freedom and power, body control and inner expression.


House

Born in the nightclubs of the east coast, the roots of house dance are just as firm and unique as that of Hip Hop or Jazz. This class is footwork oriented, combining speed and relaxation into a style seldom seen outside a club, much less inside a studio. This class is a rare opportunity to train in a pure style that is not yet commercialized by the mainstream media.


Skills & Drills

This class takes a deeper look into movement. Foundational movement and Hip Hop technique are the essence of freestyle and quality choreography. This classes primary focus is body connection: Muscle contractions become Popping, joint manipulation becomes Waving and perpendicular shapes become Tutting, smaller even, into Finger Tuts, Twitching/Reverbs, and Time Manipulation. This class redefines and hones new and old school techniques.


Choreography/Musicality

A world premier, this class begins the transformation of dancer to choreographer. Learn how to morph mundane movement into next level choreography while deciphering the secret of the complex polyrhythmic sound that make up the contemporary music of today. This class is for everyone; all ages and skill levels. In class, dancers will learn to communicate with each other, pulling from their own endless imaginations to create a collective choreography!


Dance Conditioning

A Pilate/Yoga fusion that trains dancers to utilize their core. Whether they are technical or Urban based dancers this class teaches connection and strength along with flexibility and relaxation. Through the use of breath, body control and beautiful music, Dance Conditioning is an all in one dance supplement to a better mind and body!
