    The Leawood Bar Method can be five stars or two stars depending on who's at the location that day…read more For the most part, I absolutely love the classes and staff here. If you're looking for a barre studio, or you've done yoga/pilates and you're looking for a fun but serious workout studio, this studio should definitely be on your list. Instructors I would recommend to be sure you have a great experience are Lauren, Morgan, and Erin. From the first day I came, they knew my name and gave personalized feedback on how to do better. That said, I rated a bit lower than I normally would because there have been a few very negative experiences here that made me not want to go back. It was mainly just being unnecessarily rude? Which is out of character because the primary things I love about my favorite instructors here is how attentive, encouraging, and detail-oriented they are. If you want examples of the negative experiences I've had, I won't be exhaustive but one example is when I brought a friend to class. Whoever was manning the front desk completely ignored us, and when I asked which room class was in that day, she corrected me on which instructor's class it was without answering the question. My friend felt really unwelcome and I felt terrible that it was her first experience with barre.

    Bar Method is more than just a great workout, it is a supportive community. Not only is it more fun…read moreto sweat with friends (am I right?), knowing you are going to see 'your people' is an added motivation to get up and show up at 5:45 a.m. The workout is low impact (no jumping!) and effective. It is an exercise I can see myself doing 20, 30 years from now. I love the inter-generational mix of the classes and I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to take class with me.

    We love Jody Phillips Dance Company. I have a young daughter who has been taken classes there for a…read morecouple years. I grew up dancing, all the way through college, and think Jody's is a top notch studio. Parents do get to check in on their young kids in class through a window. As most parents know sometimes the distraction of parents can make it difficult to control a class, so this is a great solution. You can peak in on your child without them really seeing you. And should my daughter ever have a real problem in class I know the staff will come get me. I have attended several watch days for my daughters class as well. As far as not being allowed to take pictures or video it's for the students safety I believe and appreciate that other people cannot take pictures or video of my daughter and post them online without my permission or knowledge. It's all about privacy and how to protect children. Obviously Jody's goes way beyond little kid class they have well rounded programs for all ages and levels. This includes a highly decorated competition team.

    I grew up dancing at Jody Phillips Dance company (JPDC). I am so thankful for the incredible staff…read morefor opening so many opportunities up for me in both life, and dance. By far, the best studio you will find in the area. Full of well-rounded dancers and people. I love that they not only focus on growing the dancer, but also the induvidual in each dancer at the studio. Years later, I still come back and keep in touch with the dancers and staff at JPDC. For sure something you and all of your friends should tryout.
