01 / UNDERSTAND MOVEMENT
See the structure behind the dance.
Begin with the overall method, then go deeper into how movement is organized and how dancers recognize and project possibilities while a dance is unfolding.
The Method
Understand → Feel → Practice → Adapt. The conceptual hub for Gab’s approach to learning movement.
Start here MOVEMENT GUIDEMovement Architecture
Explore how timing, pathways, connection and body organization create relationships between movements.
Explore the structure MOVEMENT GUIDEPerception & Projection
Recognize patterns, simulate possible continuations, estimate timing and update your choice as the dance changes.
Explore decision-making02 / PRACTICE BETTER
Make repetition answer a question.
Practice is most useful when you know what you are trying to change, can notice whether it changed, and can test whether the skill survives variation—including changes in music and tempo.
How to Practice Zouk
Choose a narrow focus, use retrieval and constraints, then vary the task so practice transfers beyond one drill.
Build a better practice GUIDED PRACTICEKinesthetic Practice
Use guided physical repetition when understanding is no longer the main bottleneck and the body needs more high-quality attempts.
Explore kinesthetic learning PRACTICE GUIDEDance Puzzles
Use movement problems and constraints to train perception, choice and adaptable solutions rather than memorized answers.

Explore the playlists03 / TEACH BETTER
Design learning, not just material.
Teacher development applies the same logic at another level: define what learners should become able to do, design experiences that reveal the bottleneck, and revisit skills until they transfer.
Teacher Development
Work on observation, explanation, exercise design, feedback and curriculum decisions.
