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.

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 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.'"''

Sean also learned the classics beyond mainstream dancing. Especially Galen Hooks, Tessandra Chavez and Nika Kjun give 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 - he is frequently complaining that he has a spine and cannot do that - but the same musicality. Sean on the other hand has an accentuation Kaycce cannot match (~~properly one~~ 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.

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 ~~fail~~, 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).
