Sean taught East Coast Swing for a long time because Lindy Hop was a lot harder. Since that doesn't count, he uses 1998 as a benchmark for the start of his passion for Lindy Hop. Having lived all over the country - from Hawaii to Boston - Sean has not only had numerous dancing influences, but has also learned how to fake a bunch of different accents - 75% of which are pretty funny. His true inspirations for the dance have come from a myriad of Charleston, Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz movie clips in the 1920s and 30s.

Sean was an American Lindy Hop Champion in 2002 and has taught all over the US and internationally. His excitement and enthusiasm for early jazz music is contagious and comes across in his teaching. In fact, RIGHT NOW, Sean is really excited to be teaching at Camp Jitterbug, in spite of the fact that the camp promoter is his wife.

Sean is an incredible lead known for his footwork, musicality and flow. Sean is one of the strongest and most entertaining instructors in the lindy hop scene and the students easily learn challenging material while having fun. We are excited to have Sean back as the emcee this year as well as an instructor!
