He made it onto the team and went on to being a part of the only troupe to sweep all 4 major hip hop competitions in one year.

From there, Sean choreographed, danced with, and directed other San Diego troupes. This includes 220 (Second to None), The Rejects, Super Galactic Beat Manipulators, FrameWork, Frenemies, Future Shock. Throughout his dance career, Sean has had the pleasure to train with great artists.

Currently, Sean is a resident hip hop teacher at the Culture Shock Dance Center. Sean is also a primary choreographer/show director at SeaWorld San Diego. In addition, he is currently the Artistic Director of Culture Shock San Diego. Sean continues to be a humble student of dance. He wishes to continue teaching and sharing his unique style of hip hop and urban dance.
