    I thought the class was great, it was fun we learned a lot of techniques.I do think it was a bit fast and a lot to perform in a short 2hr intro class. It can be a little overwhelming for new comers. But the instructor communicated clear and kept things upbeat and fun.

    Great foundational course in that it introduces the concept of improv: history and evolution of the practice and then propels you right into practice. The instructor was compassionate, inclusive and fun. She fostered a support amongst the group so we could relax and have fun. Definitely recommend!
