We were looking for dance lessons for our wedding first dance and found Signature Ballroom on…read moreGroupon (2 lessons for $65, what a steal!). I set up our first lesson via text with Matthew Schissler and it was a great success. My fiance and I are not dancers and were quite nervous about the first dance, but Matthew made us feel comfortable and (most importantly) confident that we can do this. Matthew is teaching us how to dance socially, building it into our muscle memory, so that we can pick up dancing together for years to come. We plan to take 5 additional lessons after our first 2 that came with the groupon and we honestly can't wait. I could tell my fiance was actually having FUN with it by the end of our first lesson.

Abby makes dancing fun. My wife and I started taking lessons from Abby. She has made learning to…read moredance a highlight for us. We look forward to our lessons. We just love the Australian accent!! Also, once you learn a little bit, you can join in the monthly parties at the studio. A great data night.

Johnson County Dance Center is truly a gem in the Kansas City area. From the moment you walk…read morethrough the doors, you can feel the energy, professionalism, and genuine care that goes into everything they do. The owner and teachers here are not only incredibly talented dancers, but also amazing teachers who know how to bring the best out of every student. Whether it's a little one in their very first dance class or a teen perfecting their competition routine, every dancer gets the right balance of encouragement, discipline, and fun. One of the things we love most about JCDC is the sense of community. It's not just about dance--it's about teamwork, confidence, and building lifelong friendships. You can tell the dancers here are proud to be part of this studio, and that says a lot. If you're looking for a studio where your child will be challenged, supported, and inspired all at once, Johnson County Dance Center is the place. They don't just teach dance, they build strong, confident kids who love what they're doing.

My daughter is in her 5th season with Johnson County Dance Center and it has become her home away…read morefrom home! I love that rehearsal and classes are during the week, which leaves the weekends for more family time...no 8 hour Saturday practice to work around. I did not grow up dancing so I went in blind, but the other parents and the teachers helped me to understand what is expected and how to navigate the competitive dance world. The teachers really focus on technique and not just trick after trick. I know my daughter is in good hands and I trust their judgement and guidance. If anyone is looking for a personal dance studio where you're more than just another face in the crowd I'd highly recommend JCDC!

Exceptional first-timer lesson with Alfie! I've had some…read moredance experience, socially and Latin, but my husband is pretty novice. From the first introduction over the phone, Alfie was warm, welcoming, and unassuming. All the questions we had, he answered with kindness. I would absolutely recommend American Ballroom to anyone's who is just getting into dance. OH! AND! His lesson right before ours was an impressively skilled ballroom couple, preparing for a performance. I can say with confidence that this is the place for all levels, whether brand-new or competitive!

We LOVE KC Aerial Arts! My daughter has been taking classes for over a year, and every instructor…read morehas been kind, warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. My daughter has been support and encouraged but also challenged, and her instructors have really helped her grow her skills. The office staff is also extremely helpful and responsive. We are so thankful we found Kansas City Aerial Arts!

I was able to try out Kansas City Aerial Arts thanks to Towncenter's "New Year, New You" project…read moreand I am so glad that I did! I went in for a drop-in beginner's class and ended up with a couple of girls who were also there for new year, new you and my husband. We were apprehensive about what it would be like and a little scared but excited. Our instructor, Kelsey, started us off with some stretching exercises. Then we moved to the silks where we attempted to climb them and then maneuver a hold. After that we tried our hands at different moves on the trapeze. Let me tell you, it was just as hard as I thought it would be! She recommended letting your hands sit in ice water for 10 minutes as it would help with the swelling (yikes!). If you decide to try it out just remember that you will use muscles you don't normally use, your hands will hurt and feel raw, you will be super sore, and you will feel great about yourself! You tried something new, fun and challenging. And anybody can give it a try, from little kids up to whatever age! They offer sessions, drop-ins, and 8 class flex pass. She even mentioned they have had bachelorette parties come in! How much fun would that be!?

Great pricing, staff is fantastic, studio is set up perfectly with monitors in lobby so you can…read morewatch them without distraction.

It's been too long since I had time or money to visit Linda and the wonderful staff at Plaza…read moreWellspring, but I don't see them listed here and so I'm adding them, because I think they're wonderful. After my first child was born, Lee Ann helped whip my body into the best shape I'd EVER been in. I felt so strong and it was FUN! Pilates classes on the reformer are truly unbelievable. (Now I've had a second child and I need to go see them again!!) Fast results, soothing atmosphere, easy to park. I wish it was a little less expensive, but that is my only complaint. The mat classes are excellent as well! Check the schedule on their site.

At first, this place was great and I really enjoyed it. Over time, though, it started to feel more…read morefocused on making money than the overall experience. Classes became very crowded--to the point where it was hard to move or fully participate--and they were constantly waitlisted. Trying to cancel a membership is also not easy, which was frustrating.

It's week 2 of my 2-week student special: $20 gets you unlimited yoga for 14 days - you could come 5 times a day every day if you wanted (you'd be INSANE). Staff is courteous and super professional, the people who come are nice and not judgmental when you need a one minute breathing break :-)

Popped in during my recent visit to the area to sample what had become of the merger between Yoga…read moreGallery and Inspire Yoga. The space is beautifully calm, and spacious enough to accomodate a big group. The high, exposed ceilings means tall yogis will have no barriers, and the cork floors are very comfortable and warm to walk on barefoot (of course, the day outside wasn't a mid-November one, either.) All the accessory props you'd need were there, even a mat (free!) if you just want to give it a one-time trial. The class was taught by Patricia, who is one of the founding owners. She was very knowledgeable, offered hands-on assists to her students, paced her classes well, and was an encouraging instructor. I love how the yoga practice room sees no shod feet due to how it's arranged with the entry downstairs. However, this confused me for a brief moment when trying to enter: the entrance is actually around the back of the building near the farmer's market shelter, not at the storefront on Santa Fe Dr. Word has it that Saturdays require a bit of creativity in parking because of the market, too.
