  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. The studio provides professional and knowledgeable instruction in all styles of dance, opportunities to travel across the country to conventions and classes with some of the best teachers and choreographers in the dance world, has an incredible competition program, and puts on beautiful full-length productions that include both recreational and competitive students. My experiences at Studio X transformed my dancing, but more importantly, they were a fundamental part of my own personal growth. Joshua and Studio X taught me everything about discipline, teamwork, creativity, and self-love. Joshua's work reminds all of his students that what they have to say matters, and they can always tell their truth through dance. I left Studio X an empowered and confident young woman, and that was the greatest gift of all.

  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. His students are beautiful dancers and the studio is renowned nationally, due in large part to Josh and his inventive choreography and breathtaking routines. The area the studio is in has a large military community so there are many dancers that come and go when parents get restationed, but you could never tell that these dancers haven’t been dancing together all their lives. This is a huge testament to the quality teachings the dancers receive and the time spent by Josh and his staff meticulously cleaning each and every routine. I would without a doubt trust my child’s dance education to Joshua Wise and his staff at Studio X.

  I have been dancing at studio x for 4 years now and I have been in love since day one. I used to live in Bismarck and come down every week just to dance. It was very hard but I was very determined to dance at this studio because it made me become confident, stronger as a dancer, and stronger as a person. Now I have moved to Minot and became the happiest person that I can be here every day doing what I love. Everyone is so nice and we’re just a really big family! Yes, there was some drama but where is there not? At the end of the day we are all here to dance! Joshua has been nothing but kind to me and all the other dancers at the studio! He’s an amazing director, he’s very creative on his pieces, and he makes sure everyone gets the help they need! Cerrin is also one of the best people you will ever meet! She’s an amazing teacher, she never leaves a person hanging she helps everyone with what they are struggling with! She’s an inspiration and is passionate about the work she does! Studio x is my second home and I hope it can be yours too!

  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. He will encourage the dancers to reach deep into places that others may not want to go only to bring it to the surface in dance and to share it with the world. The passion that he gets the dancers to feel as well as demonstrate through dance is outstanding. The other teachers are just as dedicated and push the dancers just as hard. I highly recommend Studio X.

  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. I learned and gained great life lessons of teamwork, independence, CONFIDENCE & passion. I am now a well-known dance instructor and competition director in the region and owe a lot of my passion and success to my root, Studio X. We are continually challenged at Red River Dance by Josh's amazing vision, fantastic technique & love of the art. It truly shines in the dancers he works with and many go on to do great things in this awesome dance world!
