Gabriel Villanueva


Gabriel began dancing in senior high school, where a simple hobby turned into a deep passion after his team’s victory in a talent show.
That pivotal moment sparked his commitment to the craft, leading him to explore various styles and pursue consistent training through open classes. His leadership emerged early as he became President of his school's SEA Dance Troupe, competing in Dancefest, where they secured 3rd and 2nd place finishes.

Over the years, Gabriel has worn many hats as a performer, teacher, and choreographer. He served as Choreographer and Director for 10tative, leading the crew through major competitions such as Battle of the Year 2023 (September), Prelude Luzon Qualifier 2023 (October), and the Summer Jam Showcase Competition – Philippine Qualifier. Known for his creative direction and dedication to growth, Gabriel continues to push his artistry both on stage and in the studio.

Currently, Gabriel is the Internal Advisor of 10tative, supporting the team behind the scenes while still actively contributing to the community. His work as a dance teacher and mentor has impacted dancers across various levels, and his passion for sharing and learning continues to fuel his journey.
