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
Soul Moves 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

This class takes a deeper look into movement. Foundational movement and Hip Hop technique are the essence of freestyle and quality choreography.

This class redefines and hones new and old school techniques.Choreography/Musicality
