From the reviews

Studio X is filled with very high quality dancing and instruction. I started training with the Artistic Director in his first or second year of owning the studio. I never knew I would grow in such a tremendous way the following few years.

★★★★★ — Nikki, Feb 2018

I trained under Artistic Director Joshua Wise for 5 years, as well as apprenticed with him as an assistant for over 3 years. As a dancer that circulated the entire Minot dance community prior to coming to Studio X, I can honestly tell you that you will not find a dance experience like Studio X anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Carson, Feb 2018

Not a parent or student, but I have worked in a professional capacity with Studio X and their Artistic Director, Joshua Wise, for nearly half a decade. Josh is not only admired and revered by his students, he is truly adored.

★★★★★ — Lex, Feb 2018

If you want a studio that is going to help you improve your dance and your confidence then this is your studio. Joshua Wise is a director that is going to push you as a dancer as well as build your confidence. He will push the dancers to where they feel they have nothing left to give only to see them peak and excel.

Your first ballet class at Studio X - A New Generation of Dance

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
