We report on out continuing analysis of the line of sight velocity fields in the cores of two ringed-barred spiral galaxies. These velocity fields are based on integral field spectra obtained with the WIYN 3.5 meter telescopes DensePak multifiber array and Bench spectrograph. Our aim is to decompose the hybrid stellar velocity fields into their circular, streaming, and dispersive components. We find that circular rotation dominates the kinematic energy outside a radius of 200 pc, indicating dick dominated galaxy cores. Maps of the non-circular residual velocities indicate streaming motions that are approximately 10 percent of the circular motion. Variations in the streaming and dispersive motions are presented and discussed. E. J.
