STOUGHTON - Since learning to dance at the age of eight, Jen Kosior has continued to love the art of both music and dance.

When Kosior completed high school, she went to the University of Regina to achieve her bachelor of music composition degree.

In 2000-01, Kosior was a member of Saskatchewan Express, where singing and dancing was the main focus of the tour. It offers young performers the opportunity to emerge as entertainers.

Kosior plays multiple instruments as well. She began at a young age on her great-grandparents’ 1903 piano. It remains in her parents’ home. She plays guitar and the oboe. She creates music into healing sounds for health and holistic purposes.

Through music and dance, Kosior teaches movement, body awareness and confidence. She has been a dance instructor for 18 years.

Kosior is married to Keith, and they have three daughters. Callie, Quinn and Piper are involved in dance as well.

Stoughton had dance classes for five years through Kosior, but classes had to be cancelled due to COVID-19, and then she had two concussions and had to take a year off.

A year later, Kosior is ready to start season six, beginning in September and running into December. They will be held at the Stoughton branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Tuesdays. A set time has not been determined as of yet and the cost will be very reasonable.

It will be open to children ages three and up, offering tap, jazz, hip hop, and most importantly fun. No experience is required to join.

Yoga and power yoga will also be on the schedule for adults on the same day.

“It is great to see the shy kids come out of their shells,” said Kosior. “They always do great, and the smiles are the best.”

In December they will perform a recital for family and friends to finish off the season.
