Kayla Sohn, Studio Owner

With a lifelong passion for dance, Kayla Sohn brings a wealth of experience and energy to her role as Dance Director at JSOD. A proud alumna of the studio, she danced at JSOD for 15 years before earning her degree in Dance and Communication Studies from Gustavus Adolphus College. While at Gustavus, she was a dedicated member of the Gustavus Dance Company and the college’s dance team.

After college, Kayla went on to dance professionally for the Minnesota Swarm and the Minnesota Vikings. She spent six memorable seasons as a Vikings Cheerleader, serving as team captain for two and being honored as the 2019 Pro Bowl Cheerleader. Kayla is honored to still be a part of the Vikings organization as a MVC Gameday Staff member and the VP of Team Engagement for the Alumni Committee. Her career highlights include representing the Vikings on six national and international trips, and performing with artists such as Justin Timberlake, Jordan Davis, and Tinie Tempah.

Kayla lives with her husband Logan, their two children, Parker and Paxton, and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Zoey.

Outside of dance, Kayla built a successful 10-year career at Target Corporate before returning to her roots and acquiring JSOD. She is passionate about sharing her love for dance with the next generation and fostering a positive, empowering studio environment.
