English-speaking barre classes? How about shamisen classes?

Does anyone have any recommendations for barre classes around Kyoto (ideally in English)? Willing to go to Osaka/Kobe too, but Kyoto's more convenient.

In a completely different direction, how about shamisen? Likewise also looking for lessons in English here but willing to travel to Osaka/Kobe for it.

Hope this is ok to post here, tried googling but couldn't find much recently for either.
