Line 46:

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. It started when he ordered a t-shirt online with the print "Lewser" and people were asking where they could get one of these.

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 then 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.'"'' in 2015. he competed on YouTube's ''Teen Dance Challenge'' together with his friends [[Talia Seitel]], [[Lucy Vallely]], [[Sophia Lucia]] and [[Chloe East]] and won a two weeks summer intensive scholarship of the Joffery Ballet School, including tuition to his domestic location.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz10oGO4osU Winner Announced HD]</ref>
