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.

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.
