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 strongest suit is hip-hop; no speed-limit and he can finally engage warp drive.<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 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 and often called "Keone & Mariel Madrid Junior" and there is some truth in it.
