Miss Isobel’s legacy of excellence continues at the Stewart-Johnson Dance Academy (SJDA). Created in 1962, this studio has been providing the highest quality of instruction in a variety of dance styles for over 50 years. In 1964, it was taken over by Miss Isobel, who brought her daughter Kimberly Johnson-Spolitino on board and developed an exceptionally dedicated staff. SJDA has seen many of its graduates go on to professional dance careers with the Complexions Dance Company, the Bad Boys of Ballet and a variety of shows in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and beyond. Not only that, but some have also gone on to open their own successful dance studios. No matter what their goals, students at SJDA benefit from the inspiration and skill of the highly qualified staff.
