    I've never taken an improv class before and this was a great intro class. Dave made it fun, created a comfortable environment and laid out a solid foundation to improv. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and learned a lot! So much so that I'm considering taking more improv classes.

    The instructor was very personable and I liked how we worked our way up from individual exercises to partner exercises to group games, then to partner exercises in front of the group. I am typically shy, so I was nervous in the beginning, but the setting was comfortable.

    I thought the instructor was great. She covered off on how to put the "polish" on your presentation so you can communicate more effectively. She gave great individual feedback at the end that I found extremely helpful.

    I had a lot of fun doing this class. This is as the title says is geared more for people not familiar with improv so its ok if your a beginner. If you do this quite frequently you may want to do a more advanced class.
