}}'''Sean Charles Lew''' (born on November 25, 2001 in Walnut, California, U.S.) is an American multi-talented professional dancer, celebrity choreographer, dance teacher, TV junior chef, actor, editor, creative and film director, producer, model, entrepreneur, social media personality and a philanthropist, pianist and singer with Chinese, Japanese and  Mongolian roots living in Los Angeles, California.

Sean got first time public eye by name at the age of 11, when a video of his jazz funk class routine, choreographed by Miguel Zarate, to the Lady Gaga's performance song "Applause" went viral in 2013 and turned him into an overnight sensation. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3n22Z7HQSM Applause -- Lady GaGa | Sean Lew | Choreographed by Miguel Zarate]</ref> A month later he got invited to perform the dance on ''The Queen Latifah Show''. He got most fame of public eye by his appearance on season two of ''NBC's World of Dance'' as Sean & Kaycee in 2018, and since 2021 playing ''Chris de la Rosa'' in the drama, thriller series ''The Cleaning Lady'', but within the dance community Sean was already an established star, since her was 14, by holding workshops, hosting and attending conventions, showcasing dances and teaching masterclasses around the world in front of thousands of people.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE9mg6vXAwA Brother - Matt Corby l Choreography by Sean Lew l #BABE2018 l Sean & Kaycee]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziv_SGoISvo Sean Lew | Fair Play Dance Camp SHOWCASE 2018]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbBZcPaW2SU Sean Lew X Asia Camp 2018 X Grandtheft & Delaney - Easy Go]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IC4p-c16ng Sean Lew and Rikimaru "WorkShop" choreoraphy Dance]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1MBl5SVZ7M Dance for a better Mexico - Tate McRae, Sean Lew, Autumn Miller and MORE]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXgfoL0DM_g SEAN LEW in NORTH DANCE CAMP, Tourcoing, France (IG Stories and Videos Compilation)]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2lOFkkWzvw SEAN LEW - LOSING ( H.E.R.)]</ref> He stated at July 2018 that he doesn't have permanent long-term goals, because everything is so last-minute and he doesn't know where he will be tomorrow. He wants just go the flow and taking chances.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewPn-AyQewE Sean Lew & Kaycee Rice – To The Pointe with Kristyn Burtt]</ref> He isn't actually seeking for a career as dance teacher, but wants to support groups who having a certain amount of hunger and passion for life and dance, which he had experienced himself in LA when her was younger and wants to (re-)establish it worldwide. <ref>[https://youtu.be/DeXOIx8r3x8?t=829 EP. 39 “Learn From The Best To Become YOUR Best” | Sean Lew]</ref>

Beyond his strong support for the dance community, Sean is a distinguished industry dancer, chorographer, creative film and stage director, editor and producer. He worked with/for celebrities, such as, Justin Bieber, Meghan Trainor, Janet Jackson, Jackson Wang, to name a few. Choreographed commercials for Samsung, Nike, Feng Chen Wang and others or was dancing on it. Worked as model for some labels. Produced an one hour independent dance short film ''"II: AN UNSPOKEN NARRATIVE"'' and was creative diretor and choreographer for the entire ''Jackson Wang Choachella Show 2023'', and many more (see below).

He started dancing when he was able to walk as got inspired by his two older sisters Sarah and Sirris, who used to be competition dancers as well, by watching them featuring on competing videos, <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cputGwfEFW4 Get to Know: Sean Lew]</ref> took his first dance classes when he was four and started competing at the age of five. He got his first professional gig as dancer when he was eight years old on the ''Glee'' show. He won on Dance-Off Juniors season one episode eight, competed on season one of ''NBC's World of Dance'' as member of ImmaBEAST and on season two with his partner [[Kaycee Rice]] as Sean & Kaycee. After that show Sean turned into a viral social media star as well and attracts with videos millions of views. As dancer he appeared on many TV shows, such as, on ''Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards'' 2012 and 2014, on ''Dancing with the Stars'' 2013 and ''The X-Factor'' together with Carly Rose Sonenclar at the finals in 2012. He was also interview guest concerning dance on ''NBC morning news'', ''KTLA5 news'' and ''LA TV - The Zoo''. He appeared on Sia's music short film video "The Greatest" with [[Maddie Ziegler]]. He performed with Chris Brown and Kris Wu. He later went on to dance for Janet Jackson on her Unbreakable World Tour in 2015.

He did commercials, for instance, for Disney, Canon, Red Bull and Old Navy. Meanwhile he is frequently booked to choreograph for commercials. 

He was also one of the important supporting members to help Janelle and her future husband William "WillDaBeast" Adams (surname did change, it is Ginestra-Adams now) founding IMMA in 2012/2013<ref>[http://www.immabeast.co/ First Video The beginning of ImmaBEAST]</ref> and became a member of the crews ImmaBEAST and LilBEAST <ref>[https://www.immabeast.co/lilbeasts-1 LilBeast]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhdvrfxZAQ lilBEASTS Behind The Scenes]</ref>. He was also an early member of the dance group ''Boy Squad''. Sean is considered as big influence-r on kid dancer talents today - as dancer, choreographer, teacher and mentor. For instance, he taught at THE LAB in West Covina and supported their dancers, who won season two of World of Dance and members became hip-hop world champions as team TLxWC in the Varsity division in 2017. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be7PJxvz3Gc Sean Lew “Weak” at The Lab]</ref>

He started choreographing at the age of ten <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrXX9ALAGsI Sean Lew - (Self-Choreography at 10 years old) Bring It On-Finally Famous Big Sean]</ref> and got finally his accolade as established choreographer during World of Dance season two by the judges, who were blown away by his unique, smart, well thought, storytelling and emotional choreography with the age of 16. Shortly afterwards he toured with Brain Friedman through Europe<ref>[http://fairplaysummit.com/team/14187,sean-lew Wasaw Poland Team Sean Lew 01]</ref> and Asia<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8SyePM3gnM Dem Beats feat Sean Lew - Todrick feat RuPaul | Brian Friedman Choreography | Asia Camp]</ref> attending conventions and teaching masterclasses - even he actually hates the term, because he doesn't consider himself a master and is just holding workshops. But he already worked before with Janelle and Will for ''Step Up:Year of the Dance'' in China.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F3TaVrvpVw Vlog #3 ll China]</ref> and taught classes in Japan<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30nk2xnWuiU Vlog #2 ll Japan]</ref>, Mexico and, of course, across the US as member of ImmaBEAST as dancer, teacher and choreographer. His first bigger concept video as choreographer, creative director, editor and dancer was "Life Experiences: Wrong Words" in June 2017, when he worked first time on a project with his current permanent dance partner and best friend [[Kaycee Rice]]. But already "Miracle", filmed and edited by "Typo", was an impressive work.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4o_LfuCE38 Miracle l Oreo l Sean Lew Choreography]</ref> Later "Breathe" was an extraordinary creation as well.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUc59K7jq4A "BREATHE" | by Sean Lew]</ref>

Sean stated that he didn't watch often TV or playing video games, but music was an important part of his life right from the beginning. He started choreographing to express himself better by music and dancing. His older sister Serris shot the first videos of his choreography and edited it until he was 12. Soon dance partners like [[Jordyn Jones]] or Kenneth San Jose helped him showing his choreography. About after a year Sean took over filming and editing. Was a dance partner missing, a little CGI helped and he danced by himself as duet <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2vunXk2K8w D.R.A.M. - Cha Cha Dance]</ref> or got transparent to the background.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTLQ5sdRXS4 What Do You Mean? - @justinbieber l Sean Lew l Choreographed by Sean Lew]</ref> Later producers like MyTypo or TJ Lewis filmed and edited his choreography with more production effort. His first dance masterclass teaching was filmed when he was 11, to help his sisters school for charity.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0mZpis6MYg Sean Lew's Masterclass at a High School]</ref> And the end of the process Sean dropped out as a brilliant camera man, editor, creative director and choreographer. His work can be watched on his YouTube channel or sometimes Instagram account. In 2016, he choreographed and danced for the BET Awards 2016 normees Big Sean, Kanye West & John Legend. 

Sean has had already an impressive non-dance related child acting career, but he considered the character roles he got as embarrassing. <ref>[https://youtu.be/RXOwtiqrLyY?t=623 Sean Lew and Kaycee Rice FULL Facebook Live (9.5.18)]</ref> Regarding IMDb, he appeared on TV soup series "See Dad Run" (2014), "Sam & Cat" (2014), "Bizaardvark" (2016), "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn" (2014), on the documentary series "On the Spot Interviews" (2013), "Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off" (2016), on home series "Home & Family" (2016), on boulevard series "E! Live from the Red Carpet" - reporting from The Academy Awards 2015 .and several online-network-series like "To the Pointe" (2018). He also appeared on music short film "Todrick Hall: Freaks Like Me" (2014). Sean was even part of the ADR ("Automated" or "Automatic" Dialog Replacement) group of the "Penguins of Madagascar" (2014) and added his voice to the film. <ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5631571/ IMDb Sean Lew]</ref> So FOX thought this man can be helped and made him series regular "Chris" in thriller, drama series ''The Cleaning Lady''.

Sean was in public school from pre-school to second class middle school, then he tried homeschool, after then he was going a year in public high-school, and got almost kicked out due his missing time, and finally switched back to online homeschooling. He graduated technically high-school at the age of 15, but he was keep going on in high-school, because his parents as non-native English speakers couldn't support him in certain ways. Sean was in his last year in Nov 2019, but he graduated officially at Jun 19th, 2019 at the California Connections Academy''.'' <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/By58EDGln6P/ Seans Gradification Cerimony]</ref><ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/By6MeBbFOgX/ Seans Gradification Cerimony]</ref> He finds the balancing between homeschooling, traveling, teaching and dancing really tough.

Sean also dances many years as philanthropist, for causes which matters to him, such as for http://www.idance4acure.org,<ref>[http://youtu.be/0O88GIxQ5u8 Sean Lew and Kaycee Rice Dancė Nėtwork Interview]</ref> and supporting to fight childhood cancer. Due his engagement and popularity, and those of many other dancers and choreographers, the funds rises very well, financing research and treatments for children with cancer. Other engagements by him went public are "#prayforpaloma" <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byBW-P5GdZ8 #prayforpaloma l Choreographed by Sean Lew l Gallant - Talking in Your Sleep]</ref>, https://pedrogtprelief.org <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoWhEAcEYWQ Sean and Kaycee - Skyscraper | D-trix Choreography]</ref> and https://thecameronboycefoundation.org/ <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/B5LSj_VlbqF/ Sean's IG The Cameron Boyce Foundation]</ref>. Notable and honorable is his engagement for UN Development Programme with the ambitious goal to end poverty at 2030. By watching the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vyWM4Lk_Dk video on his channel to the end] $20,000 USD donation was send to [https://www.instagram.com/UNDP/ UNDP] power by [https://www.instagram.com/LiveNation/ Live Nation Concerts] and Sean. People of his status normally doesn't bother [https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ZPeaDl2Ka/ just to look].

An other talent he is known for is cooking. He started cooking when he was seven years old<ref>[https://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/casting-sean-lew-0226195 Casting: Sean Lew]</ref> and won on season one episode 13 of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chopped_Junior_episodes "Chopped Junior"] $10,000 USD <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTh1zKmHvSk East Coast vs. West Coast | Chopped Junior | Food Network]</ref> and been on season two by six episodes of charity fund raising "Rachael Vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off" <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wuWOFUry-M Most-Hated Foods Challenge on Rachael vs. Guy: Kids Cook-Off | Food Network]</ref>. He started cooking to bring other dancers some self-made lollipops and got invited from their parents to cook in their houses and somehow got on the show by that and because he same kids were later on ''Chopped Junior'', he got on this show as well. He loves cooking for family, friends and sometimes the whole company, but, of course, everyone is welcome to join and help preparing, washing and cleaning up. He wanted once to have his own show called "The Dancing Chef", but it seems to change to "The Cooking Dancer" now. What he later really got was starring on ''"Sean Lew Approved", ''produced by ''Kaycee Network, ''a sort of restaurant and food critics online show, which was renewed for season two despite the low rates, because he knows the producer pretty well.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCasQqyF4VUeJUaEvdUhBWTg Welcome to Our Youtube Channel! | Sean and Kaycee]</ref> Today he has some entrepreneur partnerships by food and drink products as well as cuisine restaurants and producer. [https://www.instagram.com/p/CumxWU4x9KR/?img_index=1 A creation with his co-chef] [https://www.instagram.com/yitaigeng/ Yitai Geng] on July 12, 2023.

Sean plays piano since he was six years old. Her won 2nd place at the Music Teachers Association of California when he was eight years old. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgb7TD4jGy8 Sean Lew -Music Teachers Association of California]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tPG4PF3Iag Sean Lew (10) Play - Ballade Pour Adeline]</ref> Sean is also noticed as good singer and sound editor. He started singing to support his friend [[Tate McRae]], <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vauH3vceRI Distant - LYRICS - Sean Lew and Tate Mcrae]</ref> who is an excellent singer and got at the end of 2020 already four platinum and 11 gold certifications, but he didn't make it public for a long time. He published three music videos by covering "this town" by Niall Horan, "Youth ft. (Kahlid)" by Shawn Mendes and "Be Alright" by Dean Lewis. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6M9agmTPew youth l sean lew]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iznu-UuiHKY this town l sean lew]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb1SRym6nH0 Be Alright | Sean Lew]</ref>

He got the nickname "Lewser" by his family, who said it as a joke, but made later a family merchandise by that. <ref>[https://www.thelewser.com/ Lewser Merch]</ref> The brand is owned by his sisters Serris and Sarah - fashion designer and computer engineer - and himself and offers a small clothing line. It started when he ordered a t-shirt online with the print "Lewser" and people were asking where they could get one of these. 

His skills as dancer are not less impressive. He started dancing with his older siblings Sarris and Sarah at Mather Dance Studio at the age of four and became a member of Mather Dance company. He got at the beginning most of his technical training there - ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, lyrical and hip-hop. He started with tap, then hip-hop and then he was trained within 4-5 years in ballet. He performed his first hip-hop dance on stage even before had a class. Most impressive, he learned ball room dancing as well and won with his partner "Sia" at the age of 8 or 9 two championships with the standards Rumba, Samba, Jive, ChaCha and Paso Nova in Latin dancing. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxREe7sEDl8 Sean Lew and Ria at Emerald Ball 2010 Latin]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z101DNPdqiA Hollywood dancesport Championships Latin Sean Lew & Ria solo]</ref> Due his work as dancing far from the dance community, he took also a lot of dance industrial classes in LA with some of the most influential and established choreographers. He got first time on The Pulse convention when he was eight years old, and was made to Pulse Protegè without even knowing what is this all about or competing for it, just by the attention of the choreographers, his self-expression in the forefront and his daring clothing. Finally got later on The Pulse on Tour in 2013 at the age of 12 as Elite Protégé and graduated as Elite Alumnus in 2014. Two years before, he met his friend and mentor those days William "WillDaBEAST" Adams, who became later to a kind of dance father or big brother for Sean and Sean supported him and his future wife Janelle Ginestra(-Adams) founding ImmaBEAST, by dancing on his videos, finding supporters and even cooking. In these days one of the most important dance industry companies in the world. Sean mixed more and more other influences to his style of dancing. NEYO stated at NBC's World of Dance season two to him: ''"I feel I can watch someone else do your choreography and go 'Yeah, that's Sean.'"'' In 2015, he competed on YouTube's ''Teen Dance Challenge'' together with his friends [[Talia Seitel]], [[Lucy Vallely]], [[Sophia Lucia]] and [[Chloe East]] and won a two weeks summer intensive scholarship of the Joffery Ballet School, including tuition to his domestic location.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz10oGO4osU Winner Announced HD]</ref>

Sean also learned the classics beyond mainstream dancing. Especially Galen Hooks, Tessandra Chavez and Nika Kjun gave him frequently retro approaches. Galen let Sean perform "The West Side Story" like a Broadway veteran,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6BMy1Hz9No West Side Story - AMERICA - Choreography by Galen Hooks]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/iF3rS26gUXI?t=214 West Side Story - Jet Song - Dance Choreography by Galen Hooks ft Sean Lew, Devin Jamieson]</ref> hard rock like the 80's (which drives the girls in classes crazy by this animal)<ref>[https://youtu.be/YdHSIws67Rc?t=61 Harry Styles - Kiwi - Choreography by Galen Hooks]</ref> and jazz funk.<ref>[https://youtu.be/OsnljDj6wxo?t=131 Walk The Moon - Shut Up And Dance - Choreography by Galen Hooks]</ref> Nika let Sean feel the 70's by "Greace", <ref>[https://youtu.be/8Sb4W9nQ-2s?t=82 GREASE - "You're The One That I Want"]</ref> funk and urban dance<ref>[https://youtu.be/0K0_KtyVZ9Q?t=69 Sia - Move Your Body | Nika Kljun Choreography]</ref>. Or soft rock by Tessandra <ref>[https://youtu.be/qyViCcJtigg?t=320 John Legend - Tonight - Dance Choreography by Tessandra Chavez]</ref> His new partner [[Kaycee Rice]] stated in NBC's World of Dance season two: "He is literally good at everything. He is basically like a dance genius." His strongest suit is hip-hop.<ref>[https://youtu.be/uiIM647B4ZQ?t=314 SONNY - Run Around | Choreography by @NikaKljun]</ref> Sean's fingerprint of dancing can be described as the "Master of 1,001 Figures with Hands and Legs", making waves with his body<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y15hKsqp8o8 Yours - SG Lewis / Sean Lew Choreography]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5_SjFnXPQU SEAN LEW "RIDE" - CIARA | JOJO GOMEZ CHOREOGRAPHY]</ref> and the most fierce accentuation of dancers of the younger generation. Giving him millions of permutations by texture movements and basics for innovative choreography as well. Due his ballet training he is capable do 8-10 two-feet-leading pirouettes in row and very fast, even with closed arms (extremely difficult), and a backward barrel, a 360° turn jump backwards with hanging arms.

He doesn't have such flexibility like his partner Kaycee <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/B4WfpRsF6fo/ Laura Rice's IG Sean & Kaycee yoga]</ref> - he was frequently complaining that he has a spine and cannot do that - but the same musicality. Sean on the other hand has an accentuation by texture movements Kaycee cannot match (hardly anyone can)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wdha2ZmwAI Let Go - Dylan Brady l Sean Lew Choreography]</ref> The couple is always noticed as outstanding, because both are extremely clean, controlled by a lot of multi-coordinated texture movements, fierce accentuation <ref>[https://youtu.be/ACy9IGCWXd4?t=146 Unravel - Sabrina Claudio feat Kaycee & Sean | The Main Event | Tessandra Chavez Experience]</ref> and high expressive performance.<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmzVBGf6uKk?t=408 Shawn Mendes - Lost in Japan - Choreography by Jake Kodish ft Sean Lew, Kaycee Rice, Jade Chynoweth]</ref> Their chemistry is considered legendary for their age. Both were nominated for the Industry Dance Awards 2018 for most fierce dancer under 18, together with [[Charlize Glass]], [[JT Church]] and the winner [[Eva Igo]].

In 2019, Sean choreographed a music video for mega-star [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meghan_Trainor Meghan Trainor] "''AFTER YOU (Directed by Charm La'Donna)"'' on Vevo-YT with just 17 years old and is starring with Kaycee on it as duet. Meghan was actually a secret fan of Sean for many years and they finally met at October 31, 2019. He started in April a crowd funding project for his new short film of dancing cultures worldwide with planned budget $65,000 USD, but the subject changed later and he didn't get raised the target budget. He was nominated for a Arena Award in the category "Rising Star of the year" together with Emma Portner, Logan Edra and the winner [[Bailey Sok]]. He was performing the NBC World of Dance World Final intermezzo show on season three together with [[Kaycee Rice]] and Ian Eastwood while NE-YO was singing on stage. They got the honor to be in line with dance legends like Les Twins, Keone & Mari Madrid, Derek Hough, The Kinjaz, The Lab, Charity Anderson & Andres Peñate<strong> </strong>and Michael Dameski. Finally the ''Step Up: Year of the Dance '' (aka ''Step Up China or Step Up 6) ''movie was released. Sean was assistant choreographer for it along with William "Willdabeast" Adams, Janelle Ginestra-Adams and Jaken Isaiah Preston, featuring Jade Cynoweth and Janelle Ginestra-Adams and Wei Qi and SuperDino are starring. It is currently with about $17,000,000 USD estimated budget Sean's biggest project he participated in. <ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4060544/ Step Up China]</ref> A convention dance video with Kaycee to the song "False Confidence" by Noah Kahan went viral by 5M+ views within just one month and got Noah's personal attention and the Australian invited them to perfom in LA live on stage with him.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fr7D5BMLk0 False Confidence: Live l Xtra Sean & Kaycee]</ref> When Sean turned 18 he celebrated it in Iceland at Reykjavík with his family and Kaycee <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/B5boFavlUI2/ Sean's IG Iceland]</ref> Before became an adult he already visited many countries in the world. In this year it was at least China, Dominican Republic, Poland, Japan, Iceland and Denmark. Not many people can claim to be a world citizen at his age.

In 2020, he choreographed for mega-star Justin Bieber on his music video ''"At Least For Now"'', was solo starring on it and Sean leveled-up to celebrity choreographer at the age of 18. Just few days before, Justin's new music video ''"That's What Love Is"'' was released, where he is with [[Kaycee Rice]] one of six starring dance couples and he had also with Kaycee choreographed the kick off and episode three of Disney's new dance series ''On The One!'' and they were performing it with some friends, before Kaycee broke her ankle shortly afterwards. However, this was WARP-speed in the fast lane during the coronavirus quarantine period, when many people get frustrated on perspectives to find dance gigs in future due national-wide shutdowns and economical downswings.

On February 27, 2021 he released his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uQLDRlp0xI "II: AN UNSPOKEN NARRATIVE" - The Short Film]" and broke some rare records. The "short film" has about an hour length, had 285.000 views in four days and got about 38,000 likes by just 51! dislikes (about 745:1) and broke his own record of False Confidence by 220:1 on about 28M+ views at that time, which is for a YouTube video with that many hits extremely rare. In the film are starring some of best industry dancers in the world. The full cast - himself, [[Kaycee Rice]], Tre De Rego, Kea Peahu, Destinee Mayarea, Hiro Homura, Giselle Silva, Jaime Mora, Isaac Meija, Leilani Zepeda, Ava Chavarria, [[Bailey Sok]], [[Julian DeGuzman]], Stephanie Mincone, Connor Gormley, Shannon Kelly, Zack Everheart, Marie Spieldenner, Zach Venegas, Anthony Westlake, Matthew Kubitz, Emma Hauser, Ashlynn Malia, Leconte Banks and Jazz Smith. Director of Photography/Gimbal Operator are Gerald Nonato und Nick Kim. Unit Still Photographers are Lee Gumbs and Chad Brady. Choreography by Sean Lew, Tessandra Chavez and Benji Schwimmer. It is featuring also some spiritual locations like the tree house at the end. <i>DanceSpirit</i> was headlining after an interview: "Sean Lew's New Film is Bound to Leave You Speechless" <ref>[https://www.dancespirit.com/sean-lew-two-the-film-2650727837.html?rebelltitem=3#rebelltitem3 Sean Lew's New Film is Bound to Leave You Speechless]</ref>. How he gets it done with the low budget?! Because most of crew and cast are friends and he had some family support. The film won a New York’s Oniro Film Award in the category "Best Dance Choreography" in March and was already introduced on two short film festivals in Venice and Montreal in 2020. He delivered with 19, four years later after he had the idea and adds on his calling card producer, script writer and director now. Shortly afterward he signed for crime, drama and thriller series "The Cleaning Lady" as Chris. The first season premiered at Sep 9th, 2021 on FOX with international releases.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11188682/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1 The Cleaning Lady]</ref> Sean got regular in first season. Not bad for someone who thought once his acting is embarrassing. In June he has taught his first dance class at the Millennium Dance Complex LA. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RJ_rixDWpo Cold War - Cautious Clay l Sean Lew Choreography l 2021]</ref> Insane, but when most of his fellow pro dancers properly celebrating their first teaching class at the "most iconic dance studio in the world" as an important milestone of their careers, for Sean it feels just natural; not worth mentioning.

On February 1, 2023, Fox decided to renew ''The Cleaning Lady'' for third season and Sean stays regular on the show. The early renewal for The Cleaning Lady could also serve as a hedge against a possible strike by writers, actors or directors in the coming months. On-air ratings for The Cleaning Lady cooled some in its second season: The drama averaged 3.52 million viewers per episode with a week of delayed viewing, according to Nielsen (those figures don’t include streaming), versus 5.17 million for its first season. Per Fox, the show’s multi-platform audience was 5.4 million viewers for season two, a 53 percent jump over the Nielsen seven-day figure.<ref>[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cleaning-lady-renewed-season-3-fox-1235314970/ ‘The Cleaning Lady’ Renewed for Third Season at Fox With New Showrunner]</ref> On February 22, 2023, Sean posted his choreo video for the Vibrancy convention [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bio4tBJsu9k Ungrateful Eyes - Jon Billion] with Kaycee and went strait in tradition of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNCQsu5uXbo False Confidence] with 45M+ views at that time and they set a kind of trademark here.

In 2016, Sean won season one episode eight of Dance-Off Junior, against his friend William B. Simmons II and Skyler Sharp.

In 2018, on the NBC World of Dance show season 2 he performed with his partner Kaycee Rice as Sean & Kaycee, getting second in Divisional Final and they became one of the most popular acts of the show with a lot of special clips and interviews by NBC. Both were contacted individually by different people to join the show, but at the beginning they declined. Sean, because of his experience of been "cut out" of the show, he didn't want experience it again and felt he wasn't self-assure enough, he couldn't choreograoh it under that time pressure in front of millions alone. And Kaycee because she had no idea how do it alone. Later Sean changed his mind, considered participation and gave Kaycee a face-time call if she minded to join as a duo. She said immediately "Yes!", and instanly dropped the mobile on the floor after that and Sean was just watching the ceiling for about 10 minutes, and was asking like "Kaycee?!?", while on both sides the parents were cheering them up "Go for it!". The next two hours there was silence at the phone to process how to manage it in detail. They decided having not too much hope they would survive to next rounds and didn't prepare for more than just one round. Telling a story that matters and inspires to anyone was more important for them than top scoring. They just wanted show case their performance skills and Sean's choreography.<ref>[http://popcorntalknetwork.com/sean-lew-kaycee-rice-to-the-pointe-with-kristyn-burtt/ Sean Lew & Kaycee Rice To the Pointe with Kristyn Burtt]</ref> Sean filmed with Kaycee behind-the-scene documentaries during each round, how they choreographed and rehearsed four routines under time pressure and became best friends by that. Sean stated later for him the most important part of the show aftermath was that he found in Kaycee someone who is really understanding why he is dancing and is sharing same motivation and attidute. Kaycee said later they add the blindfolds in rehearsals of The Qualifiers three days before the show and changed the routine completely the day before the show after a terrible failure, when she hit him by a push.

But they got huge laudation during the show. Jennifer Lopez eulogized them as with "If anyone in this competition can be called prodigies, it's Sean and his partner Kaycee." ... "You have a real talent" ..."technically perfect" ... "You move me in a way I cannot explain sometimes." and actually broke out into tears after Sean & Kaycee had the nerves to perform half of their qualifiers routine blindfolded in front of 8.5 million watchers (air day + 7 days) on national television later (taped 4 months before), making an huge impact in the dance community. Jenna Dewan stated in an interview later: "I swear to you, they are the future of choreography and dance."<ref>[https://twitter.com/mendescentineo/status/1029802198790631424 Jenna Dewan Online Interview]</ref> After first airing the adorable couple was no longer treated as dance stars, but as common celebrities, who pointed out that they are just best friends and not dating (yet). Below are the scores of the rounds they participated in.

==Quotes==
===About Sean===
*''"When you were 14 I was thinkin I don’t know how he can get better than this… but you did 👏😂"'' (Matt Steffanina comments to one of Sean's IG post on October 9, 2023 when sean was close to turn 22 <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CyLw1JfLtO7/ Chris Brown•Love More (feat. Nicki Minaj)]</ref>)
*''"I would love for sean to dance/choreograph in one of my videos one day. He is the most talented dancer I've ever met."'' ([[Tate McRae]] - [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nt132gJJgGw Tate's YT Q&A])
*''"Art is not what Sean does. Art is who Sean is."'' (His fitness & condition trainer Karl Flores)
*''"I think what makes Sean unique as a dancer is his ability to tell stories."'' (Karl Flores)
*''"If Zoomers are often stereotyped as distracted and anxious narcissists addicted to social media, Lew comes off as the diametric opposite. Despite being one of the best and most famous dancers on Earth, he speaks gently and with striking empathy. His phone is nowhere in sight. He makes eye contact with the concentration of a Zen master. His discipline, politeness and humility lend the wizened air of someone who has lived several lifetimes before this one. The old-soul calm is a stark contrast to his electric charisma and Olympian dance floor athleticism. "'' (Jeff Weiss about his interview with Sean. He should talk about it with Sean again ...)
*''“Sean was always self-motivated. He’s the one who went out in search of projects, trying new things."'' (his older sister Sarah)
*''“My parents always wanted to keep him levelheaded. He still had to get good grades. There was that expectation that even if you’re an amazing dancer, there’s a business aspect. You have to communicate well with people. No matter how famous he got, my parents cared most about how hard he was working.”''(his older sister Serris Lew)

===By Sean===
*''"Where is love, there is life!"'' (his "Golden Quote")
*''"When all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone. The things that matter are faith, family, and friends."'' (Sean's epilogue of his "ICELAND" video)
*''"I can’t party. I’m antisocial. I like to be at home before midnight,” Lew laughs. “My best friends are in their late 20s and older. I love that. I love being around people who are better than me. I love being around people who know more than me, because it inspires me to want to know more."'' (Sean in his interview with Jeff Weiss)
*''“At public school, I got made fun of for being a male dancer. When I tried to play basketball, I got pushed away or laughed at for the clothes I wore, or the career I was trying to pursue. In public school, I found myself a little depressed and lost.”'' (Sean about the year he spent at junior high before switching to homeschooling. Yeah, many male young dancers switch the #METOO on now for being or been bullied.)
*''“My biggest supporter is definitely my mother. Biggest fan ever. No one can beat her. which is one of the trillion reasons why I love her more than anything. She’s been with me since day one, literally, and we’ve been through everything together as I grew to be the person I am today."'' ([https://www.naludamagazine.com/interview-with-young-dancer-choreographer-and-actor-sean-lew/ Interview Naluda Magazine])
*''"We all can dance really good, we are all amazing dancers. But unless we have something to say, we blind it. And remember, we are not going to be like: Oh, I'm the best dancer here. There is no such thing. Yeah, there is no such thing. So it's more about: OK, what makes me special? What is my super-power? What can I do what no one else can touch? And to honest, you already have it. Yeah, you already have it. Now you have to say what that is. Ask yourself where are these things? What are these questions? Where are these answers? I cannot teach you that. You have to ask yourself that. Everybody has his own like attitude. Like this or like this *showing walking fingers*. That the beauty of it. It's all like: What I would gonna do? So turn it off the entire time. Does it make sense? - Cool!"'' (Sean's teaching intro in one of his classes - see dear Jeff what he meant?!)

==Fun Facts==
*Due all public confirmed information and an indiscreet video Sean is NOT dating Kaycee (yet). They tried an innocent shot at the early days, but it didn't worked out. Sean discribed the love for Kaycee as pure platonic.<ref>[https://www.stylesrant.com/inside-kaycee-rice-life/ Inside Kaycee Rice’s life, and her relationship with Sean Lew]</ref> But as long as they work permanently together, the rumors will never stop. In general, Sean and Kaycee don't talk about their relationships in public. They appreciate their privacy in this matter. Wise decision.
*A couple years ago Sean was mentoring protege [https://www.instagram.com/ayden_nguyen/ Ayden Nguyen of THE LAB] a little, nicked "The Mini Sean Lew", who is the NBC World of Dance Champion 2018 with his team mates and many more, and one day both appeared in class with colored a white metallic strip in their black hair like a skunk, and instantly the hype increased. 
*His family female dog Oreo has her own Instagram account. She has already 8K+ followers and a subscibed eight herself. Who might those be and how she did it with that paws? <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/thebestoreo/ IG The Best Oreo]</ref>
*At November 2019, his favorite dream celebraties he would like work with are Beyoncé and [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rami_Malek Rami Malek]. His favorite dancer collaboration would be Keone Madrid, but he was sitting in the Kinjaz Dojo when he said that. Keone was a former The Kinjaz member and is currently enjoining his father luck anyways. - Baby Girl, Numah, no superpowers detected yet, but "more poo poo". :-)<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5r0vfWxdNw KEONE MADRID MARI MADRID MAKING THEIR DAUGHTER NUMAH MADRID TO DANCE]</ref>
