Lewis started dancing at the age of 3. After starting at such a young age, his love for dance was almost instinctual. He attended many local ballet schools in Newcastle, before he found the right fit at Newcastle Ballet Theatre in 2013. After 4 years including 1 in full-time training, Lewis was accepted into The Australian Ballet School in 2017. He officially joined The Australian Ballet for their 2019 season and is now dancing with Queensland Ballet as a Young Artist.
