The staff was amazing and told me all about the exhibit, the space, and upcoming BA events (like Second Saturday) which will be ramping up soon this spring.

This place is definitely the place to go to learn something new…read more They have amazing classes such as dancing, PiYo, and all sorts of things, quite a lot of art classes. Photography, art, dancing, voice lessons, acting/drama, and working out for some. To keep track of their classes and schedule they use a really awesome app called "MindBody Connect". They even have a summer workshop going on this summer which my little brother and one of my niece's are going to. They also have a ton of groups! Some of which are the Writer's Inspiration Group, Artist Support Group, and Writing Group. My mom goes to the PiYo classes and enjoys them a lot. I displayed my art there! That's right, you can display your art at this wonderful place! Just contact Byn, the owner and ask. My art is currently hanging on their walls as of 05/24/15 (it may not be there in a few weeks). The decor is beautiful, it has a kind of Tumblr feel to it, yet vintage in a way as well. Large crystals sit on unique tables in the cozy first room. Plenty of sitting space in the first room as well. Their dog wanders throughout their place, greeting customers and trying to even attempt to go home with them! The dog is really well minded, and it just will steal your heart as you go to your class(s)! This place can be difficult for some to find, but that's because it's in a interesting building behind another building. There is also a tree which can block the sign which is why some people have a hard time seeing it. My dad and I had no such trouble and parked in the large parking lot happily. The confusing thing about going in is that next to the door to their place is a door for another place, which I know nothing about and was closed when I went. I almost went in there though! Whoops! *chuckles* There is then a hallway inside from the first room which leads onto several other rooms, one is a office room, another a photograph room (where they take photos!) and another is a storage, and another a makeup room. But a little off of the first room is the room where you would learn dance and have exercise classes, big mirrors and nice floors for working out are in this room, even a SUPER tiny kitchen. Overall, the Always family is so kind and generous and definitely fun, don't be afraid to ask them questions and figure out what you want to learn. I think they give such a needed addition to Tulsa by adding a place where all can learn, talk and have fun. Don't forget to check their site so you can see ALL the listed classes because they keep having more and more classes!

They guide you through the entire process and you are able to make most of the ornament yourself. For example, every other place we've been to only lets you blow the ornaments whereas here you get to do most of the process yourself from start to finish. Definitely worth checking out and helping a small local business!

Stitches of Tulsa is my go-to needlepoint store.

They carry so many threads, including Trebizond (a filament silk) and stranded wools. The geometric/counted pattern selection is small but well-chosen. The (unpainted) canvas selection is not huge but it covers the basics. The main downside is the limited hours, though they are appropriate to the size of the staff.

If you've ever wanted to try improv in Tulsa or dip your toe into comedy, look no further than Cody…read moreMayo Studio. I've taken multiple levels (1-3 so far, Level 4 next), and it's been one of the most energizing and supportive communities I've found in the city. Classes are taught by Arch, who brings decades of global experience -- including performing and teaching at The Second City in Chicago. His teaching style is clear, structured, and rooted in real comedic craft. Each class feels like therapy disguised as chaos -- a place to drop the weight of the world, laugh hard, and create something spontaneous with a room full of people cheering you on. Whether you're an aspiring actor, looking for acting classes in Tulsa, or just want to find your funny again, Cody Mayo Studio is the best place to start.

Cody's picture on the glass caught my eye. They offer film and TV acting classes for adults, teens, and even kids. What I was interested in were his coaching services for public speaking and communication. One of my goals this year is to improve in my skills and become a better and effective public speaker since I seem to find myself in front of a group pretty often in my personal and professional life. I have also recently become aware of how much I depend on "filler words". My most common ones are "um", "like", and "you know". While not a huge deal in regular conversations, professionally, it makes me sound unsure and I would hate for that to impact my credibility. I reached out via the contact form on the website and was able to schedule an initial 1:1 coaching session with the help of Chelsea, the Studio Admin & Assistant. I confess, I was initially uncertain about the whole thing going in, not knowing what to expect. I am happy to report that Cody is worth every penny! He has an impressive and extensive experience in film, television, theatre, and coaching. Tulsa is so lucky to have him. I take copious notes each session to make sure I won't forget his advice and tips. He has a way of making everything so practical. Each session, I'm progressing on my goal. He also shared they'll be modifying the space to allow after-hours events. Can't wait to check that out!
