He started dancing when he was five years old | He started dancing when he was five years old witha combo class in tap and ballet. Gabe’s parents have fully supported his dancing career right from the start. As a child, he suffered from asthma and other allergies which needed him to find an indoor activity, after came always home sick doing other sports. Since he was not getting many chances to employ his energy outide, his older sister got him into dancing, where he let out all his pent up passion and energy. She even wanted him to start with four. He has always had a passion for dancing, right from the time he used to dance up and down at his sister’s dance competitions. Gabe was just about ten years old when he won the Hall of Fame Junior Solo National Championship, about one year after he started competing. Due success, he had received a number of dance scholarships from prestigious training workshops, conventions and events such as Camp Pulse, Jump, Nuvo, Co Dance, Monsters of Hip Hop and The Dance Awards. he is trained in jazz, tap, ballet, musical theather and contemporary. He said once “Ballet, ballet, ballet — especially for boys! It’s the foundation for everything.” But most videos he is featured he is performing hip-hop. However, his freestyle is killing it all. He said that he learned from dancing leadership, preparation, professionalism, patience and also how to attracts "chicks" on a party. But to play the macho he was bullied too much in school, because he was a male dancer. | ||
He was one of the very first members of ImmaBeast, because he was recruited directly by "WillDaBeast" Adams before he founded IMMA - it was literally an animal thing - and Gabe joined later LilBeast, the company subsection for very young talented dancers, who became all famous too. Another mentor was Tricia Miranda, who trained the prodigy [[Kaycee Rice]] and thought, he was a perfect match for Kaycee as duet, because they can handle both - performance and technical skills - and were of same size (yet). But there was an obstacle for their rehearsals; Kaycee and Gabe lived three hours apart from each other, because he was grown up in Temecula valley and never moved until today, and she lives in the LA metropolitian area. They often just met each other in LA in classes, conventions or sometimes at Studio 13 in Simi Valley, which Kaycee's mom owned. But they got later the opportunity to work intensively together, when they became both The Pulse Elite proteges in New York 2015, toured across the US with some celebrity choreographers, and many other very talented industry dancers, and graduated together as Elite Almnani in 2016. But after that they had separated paths. Tricia once was kidding on the Yuma Hip-Hop festival that Kaycee left Gabe for her new partner [[Sean Lew]]. But if it would be some truth in it, Gabe wasn't a child of sadness, because he toured with his and also Kaycee's best friend Tati McQuay through the Philipinnes | He was one of the very first members of ImmaBeast, because he was recruited directly by "WillDaBeast" Adams before he founded IMMA - it was literally an animal thing - and Gabe joined later LilBeast, the company subsection for very young talented dancers, who became all famous too.
