Line 44:

He got the nickname "Lewser" by his family, who said it as a joke, but made later a family merchandise by that. Due double meaning only good friends and fans call him "Lewser".<ref>[https://www.thelewser.com/ Lewser Merch]</ref>

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 Shannon Mather's dance company. He got at the beginning most of his technical training there - ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, lyrical and hip-hop. 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. Due his work as dancing far from the dance community, her took also a lot of industrial classes in LA with some of the most influential and established choreographers and got final on The Pulse on Tour in 2013 at the age of 12 as Elite Protégé. Two years before, he met his ~~best~~ friend and mentor those days William "WillDaBEAST" Adams, who became later to a kind of dance father ~~(Papa Beast)~~ to Sean and 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 players in the world. Sean mixed more and more other influences to his style of dancing, which made him in same way an outstanding choreographer as well. NEYO stated at NBC's World of Dance season two to him: ''"I can watch someone else perform your choreography and know 'Yeah, that's Sean.'"''

Sean also learned the classics beyond mainstream dancing. Especially Galen Hooks, Tessandra Chavez and Nika Kjun give him frequently retro approaches.

He doesn't have such flexibility like his partner Kaycee - he is always complaining that he has a spine and cannot do that - but the same musicality. The couple is always noticed as outstanding, because both are extremely clean, controlled by a lot of multi-coordinated texture movements, fierce accentuation and most expressive performance values. Both were nominated for the Industry Dance Awards 2018 for most fierce dancer under 18, together with [https://kiddancers.fandom.com/wiki/Charlize_Glass Charlize Glass], JT Church and the winner [https://kiddancers.fandom.com/wiki/Eva_Igo Eva Igo].
