His skills as dancer are not less impressive. He started dancing with his older siblings Sarris and Sarah at Mather Dance Studio at he 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 and Nika Kjun give him frequently retro approaches.

Nika let Sean feel the 70's by "Greace"~~, soft rock~~ and urban dance. It seems dance styles ~~are a~~ mass execution for Sean. His new partner [[Kaycee Rice]] stated in NBC's World of Dance season two: "... he is good at everything. He is basically like a dance genius". ~~His~~ fingerprint of dancing can be described as the "Master of 1,001 Figures" with ~~hands~~ and ~~legs~~, ~~and~~ making waves with his body and the most fierce accentuation of the dancers of the younger generation. Giving him millions of permutations by texture movements and basics for innovative choreography as well. Due his ballet training his killer moves are 8-10 two-feet-leading pirouettes in row and very fast, even with closed arms (extremely difficult), and his backward barrel, a 360° turn jump backwards with hanging arms.

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. They are shinning stars.

They are shinning stars and often called "Keone & Mariel Madrid Junior" and there is some truth in it.
