Sean started dancing at the age of four with the O'Reilly School of Irish Dance in his hometown of Cavan, Ireland. By the age of nine  he began to compete at an international level; placing top ten in Leinster, All-Ireland, North American and World Championships of Irish dance. At the age of 15, Sean began performing with various groups throughout Australia, Europe and Southeast Asia. By the age 17 Sean was invited to join "Riverdance," touring full time throughout North America. Sean was soon promoted to lead dancer, the role previously made famous by Michael Flatley. After touring five years Sean sat his teaching certification exam and was awarded his T.C.R.G. title, allowing him to teach Irish dance at a competitive level.


Sean has performed on many nationally broadcast TV shows, including "The View," "Good Morning America," "The Today Show" and Ireland's "The Late, Late Show." He has also performed for Mary McAlesse and Mary Robinson, current and past presidents of Ireland, Sen. Hilary Clinton and former Vice President Dick Cheney. After spending 2006-07 working with a new musical production on Broadway, he turned his attention to passing on his love of Irish dancing and performing to Rince Nia Academy.
