His favorite move is jumping from different positions, sometimes with backflip, pirouettes etc, into a James Brown split. A miracle he said he never got seriously injured. Sometimes he hurted himself a little, shook it off<ref>[https://youtu.be/1Iz2iz7XLRA?t=35 Gabe De Guzman Q&A]</ref> and just rushed back into battle for a new charge, because his dance style is extremely fast with brutal accents. His former permanent dance partner [[Kaycee Rice]] said about him, his spirit animal must be a cheetah, because he's so fast.<ref>[https://www.dancespirit.com/teenage-mutants-2326732372.html Gabe De Guzman and Kaycee Rice Are a Stage Match Made in Hip-Hop Heaven]</ref> But because he can jump very high and far, get down and stand up very fast too, maybe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor Velociraptor] could be the best totem for him.

He started dancing when he was five years old with a combo class in tap and ballet. He described himself as very shy at these days. 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 attract "chicks" on a party. But to play the macho he was bullied too much in school, because he is 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 later 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 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 and Kaycee joined later IMMA too. 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 and visited eight cities together and had workshops,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwPEKEJhBDM GABE DE GUZMAN NET25 LETTERS AND MUSIC Full Interview]</ref> taught together in three cities in Columbia and in the Dominican Republic. But when we made research for Tati's page, we started realizing that Tati is actually not a child of sadness.

He made actually more projects with the boys and his friends, such as, [[Sean Lew]], Josh Price and later Julian ~~Deguzman~~. And formed with Sean, Josh, Kenneth San Jose, Grant Knoche, Big Will Simmons, Josh Cruzwith with a little changing cast the boy dance group Boy Squad and made a complete 26 episodes long-term series of it since 2015. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRSXKM2xM90 Boy Squad - Vidcon - Verizon Performance]</ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNnTcx5w8FU Boy Squad Dance Video | Right Now - Soul Mechanix]</ref> <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTOZ8GkjkZs Boy Squad Dance Video | Oh Yea - D. Cope]</ref> But it wasn't a males only. They were sometimes counterparted with a girl squad by [[Bailey Sok]], [[Tahani Anderson]], Tati McQuay, [[Sierra Neudeck]] and Leanne Tessa.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb2nZXLFdjk BOY SQUAD | Bailey Sok, Kenneth San Jose, Gabe De Guzman, [[Tati McQuay]], Will Simmons]</ref> But he worked also permently together with his best buddy "Big Will" Simmons and about a year with AC Bonifacio.

Gabe has already an impressive non-dance acting career. In 2020, he played Logan in released "To the Beat!: Back 2 School" movie, played main role Justin in Maritte Lee Go's short film ''Illipino'' and performed on Disney's musical CGI-addon animation ''The Little Mermaid Live!''. He performed on Phil Wight's parody of ''The Mask'' starring Jim Carry and was doing very well as the ~~villan~~.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVsEri-SMj0 **The Mask Remake** | Phil Wright Choreography]</ref> Worked out good, so Phil shot next parody of Rush Hour starring Jacky Chan and Chris Tucker and introduced Gabe's fast arm movements as Kung Fu elements <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcL2S6DoR0Y Rush Hour - Remake**]</ref>. So stick more into acting seems be a good idea. Thought some producer and directors as well and Gabe got minor roles on the ''He's All That'' movie and on drama series ''Goliath''; brought him closer to the big ones, including Academy Awards winner Billy Bob Thornton in 2021.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13618566/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm IMDb "Goliath" The Pain Killer Full Cast & Crew]</ref>
