Customer Spotlight: Stage X Studio
Last Updated on 26 March, 2026
A class-based studio focused on making enrollment, scheduling, and parent communication feel effortless.
1. Introducing Stage X Studio
Stage X Studio is a premier dance, vocal, and performance training studio specializing in dance, vocal coaching, and K-pop idol training for all skill levels. Their goal is to develop confident, well-rounded performers by providing industry-level instruction, fostering creativity, and helping aspiring artists refine their skills and pursue professional opportunities.
They run primarily on scheduled classes and group programs, with private sessions available by arrangement between the client and the teacher.
With a team of fewer than 10 staff on the administrative side and a similar number of teachers, owner and manager Emily Thai is setting the studio up to support both front desk operations and instructor-led services, while also accommodating families. As Emily noted during onboarding, they need parent or guardian signing enabled for minors, but not all systems allow for this.
2. Why They Chose WellnessLiving
Stage X Studio came to WellnessLiving ready to move beyond manual processes. Emily is coming from pen and paper, and her priority is to launch with a system that feels stable, is easy for staff to explain, and simple for clients and parents to use.
A major draw was having core tools in one place: a client-facing booking experience (Client Web App), staff management with roles and permissions, built-in waivers for adults and minors, and automated notifications.
Emily also highlighted how important proactive communication will be, especially when plans change: “When a class is canceled, I wanted to email them, and if possible, to text them.” Learning that transactional SMS notifications are included helped confirm that WellnessLiving could support their communication goals without immediately requiring additional add-ons.
3. What They’re Building
Emily’s immediate focus is a clean, organized setup that both staff and clients can rely on. The studio is building out:
- A schedule that supports both classes and private sessions, with private bookings likely set up as appointments that require staff approval: “We want them to book it, and then we would have to approve it.”
- Online sales for classes, including new session pass “class packages” they plan to introduce with WellnessLiving: “We were planning with this system to do a class package… we want to do session passes.”
- Waivers, including guardian signing for minors, so onboarding new clients is consistent and compliant.
- Staff profiles and permissions, so instructors can be assigned correctly without creating scheduling limitations. Emily originally hoped to use a shared front desk login, but clarified the need for individual teacher profiles once she saw how staff availability impacts bookings.
- Text and email notifications, especially for cancellations, with A2P registration planned to enable SMS sending.
Stage X Studio is also planning ahead for retail merchandise, with Emily sharing that they intend to start selling merch and are preparing to purchase a card reader as part of that next step.
4. What Success Looks Like
For Emily, success with WellnessLiving starts with a launch that feels confident, not rushed. Her goal is to have the system live soon so the studio can start moving everything over and begin coaching families through the new signup process. At the same time, she wants time to ensure the team is ready, and her WellnessLiving rep is there to help every step of the way.
They’re teaching her team quick ways that parents can register and sign for minors, clients can purchase session passes and book confidently, and staff have clear workflows for scheduling, approvals, and communication.
Now that Stage X Studio’s clients can book from anywhere on their new branded mobile app, they’re ready to hit that high note. You can follow their story on the Stage X Studio Instagram.
