History
JDO opened its doors in 2003 when business partners Jamie Down and Susan Walker set out to establish a dance studio that not only produced some of the most talented dancers in South Jersey, but allowed students to grow their love of dance. Since its beginning, JDO has been an expert in tap dancing. Over the years, it has perfected its hip-hop, ballet, contemporary, jazz, and acrobatics. JDO also has a national award winning competition team that has grown in size and skill. Even after 14 years in business, JDO has kept its fundamental goal: having fun.
