Abby Johnson
Theatrical, Acro and Limber
Abby’s passion for dance began at age 6, followed by many years of successful competitions where Abby competed both as a soloist and in troupes. During this time Abby also completed exams to the highest standard in ballet, jazz and tap plus studied contemporary, lyrical, musical theatre and acrobatics.
Abby has performed at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California – including dancing in the Main St Parade. In addition, Abby has completed dance workshops in New York and Los Angeles specialising in jazz, tap and contemporary styles of dance.
As well as completing VCE Dance through Independent Dance Studios, IDS provided a supportive and caring environment whilst Abby continued to combine dance and school through her VCE years, resulting in high academic results of an ATAR of 96.65 and a perfect score of 50 for mathematics.
Abby is now a full-time dance student at Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance, studying a Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance) and a Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management. A recent opportunity includes dancing in a music video for Tones & I.
Abby is proud to continue to be a part of the IDS family, nurturing the students love of dance through teaching and being a positive role model.
