Straight Back Down - Dean Lewis | Sean Lew Choreography

"to never regret anything in life, embrace all your good and bad decisions in life because they are your greatest lessons. so just go for it"

this piece has a significant place in my heart because it represents one of my biggest obstacles in life, “doubt.” i created this piece because i immediately felt a personal connection to the storyline and the artist. it made me want to hold back, made me want to go crazy, made me want to stumble, me me want to let go. it made me realize that having doubts about someone or something was just a part of the process. the real test is embracing your doubts to remind yourself that you’re just human. you have to make your purpose bigger than your fears. thank you chicago for being so open to sharing your stories and letting me into them. it was such an incredible honor and pleasure watching you guys:)

hi everybody. Thank you for taking the time to watch this very important video of mine. I can't even begin to tell you how long of a journey it's been to get to this stage. To start off, this project is overall a short film. A short film that I have been continuously working on for 2 ½ years now. A short film that revolves around my entire work for the past 3 years. A short film that can hopefully change the perspective of dance and inspire endless numbers of people. I can't say much right now because every part of this film is so different and heart-driven and I want you to experience it in a complete manner, that way everything makes sense.

It's so important to me that I create something that can possibly have the chance to change someone's life. to look at the world differently. to feel something they've never felt before. However, I felt that it was just as important to ask the people that have been a part of my journey, to be involved in the most valuable project of mine. That is why I need your help. It's very challenging to set out every layer of this film myself but your belief and support only motivates me to continue. In the past, I have been able to develop my own project but trust me, this is completely different. It's not just a video or a social media promotion. This is basically my life's work put into motion, and I hope you will believe in this, just as much as I do.

Please donate, or share, or spread the word about this film of mine. I promise you that I won't rest until I'm able to give out the best possible creation that I can possibly create. Thank you so much for your unconditional support and love throughout my journey. It means the entire world to me and I can't put into words about how thankful I am for every single one of you.

I feel like Kaycee was just born to understand and perfectly execute Sean's choreos. Like when Sean dances his own choreos, I'm thinking "wow, it's art' then Kaycee dances them and I'm almost in tears... It's like she can bring her own emotions to what Sean had in mind, I don't know, it gives me chills... I love them working together every single time.

sean's videos be calling me talentless in 10000 languages and 7869574 fonts

[asiasberry]

holy shit kaycee KILLED this choreo. and sean, you freaking genius!

[irenecremilli]

Is no one going to talk about their hug coinciding with "you feel like home"?

[soccerbeast]

I wish I had a relationship with a girl the same way Sean and kaycee do, so genuine and innocent

[norahutchinson]

The DETAILS. The MUSICALITY. The STORYTELLING. Ahh this is too good

[thegingrbeani]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate that moment when kaycee finished her piece? THAT, is real friendship.

“You have to make your purpose bigger than your fears” how can you put those words together sean? Gosh, I don’t know how you do it man, but thank you for being an inspiration. I am 10 years older than you but somehow I feel that you are wiser than me. Keep doing you sean, you are golden.

1:13 everyone in back is my mood OMFG 😱🙌 I love to see you two dance .. The emotion you bring, the way you tell a story, is so beautiful. I am always delighted. You and Kaycee even dancing apart have a connection and I think everyone can feel it. I hope you are always happy together. And Sean, I'm just addicted to you, the way the dance, your choreography, is just brilliant.

What I love about Sean’s choreography is that it looks like improve, he makes everything seems so effortless and easy and that’s actually very impressive and not so easy to do. His choreo is always fluid and very mature, he has a big future as a dancer/choreographer

[noahhchriss]

Kaycee's intepretation of sean's choreo is breathtaking omg i just loved it so much!!!! Beautifum chorep sean

[Dwi-uhdf]

By the way, kaycee nailed it, so gowd

[PollyMamedePsi]

Ok, we already know that Sean is not a normal human, but boy this choreo was such a good (or bad and sad) story to tell with dance and it's so nice how Sean make such dificult moves with no effort at all, they were so happy to be teaching wich each other and for each other that they made aparent in some facials were they get out off character and smile, that friendship is a present for all, and I'm glad that I'm able to see two people that are so in sync so true, diferent and yet so similar... they are each other houses... and that my friends is a good and strong partnership.
P.S.: THE END IS SO FREAKING NICE, SEASN IS SO PROUD!

[CHOMAD]

Omg... I’m from Korea 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
I like your dance video 🙋🏻‍♂️❤️
And you are so handsome 😂👍🏻👍🏻

[Anna-wxlt]

No one does Sean’s choreos better than Kaycee #periodtpooh

[samsinclair]

Kaycees doing a sean's choreo is a forever fave thing!! She understands his ideas so much and just produces pure magic with her storytelling abilities. Forever amazed by these two

[emikotagahushi]

I feel like this is one of Sean's underrated choreographs. It's one of my favorites that I keep coming back to.

[bbyheart]

The little hug at the end and when he jumped on her 🥺 I need a friendship like that 😭

[jamessaunders]

I watch so many of his dances religiously. There are so many moments that look like illusions to me. At 0:28 the speed and control he gets when he does a sit-up bending forward to his knees almost looks like its on rewind.
