I recently finished level 1 Improv and had a blast! As a total newbie, I was pretty nervous at first, not knowing what to expect at all (but that's improv right?). But boy, was I pleasantly surprised!
The atmosphere was super welcoming and the instructor made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. We did fun (and effective) exercises that got us out of our comfort zones and laughing like crazy. I couldn't believe how much my class grew in just a few weeks! The instructors gave great feedback and I picked up skills like listening better, thinking on my feet, and working with a group.
It was such a cool experience, and I can't wait to continue learning and having a blast with my new improv buddies. If you're looking for a fun and informative adventure, definitely give this place a shot!
I've been taking classes at Improv LA since late January (now in level 3), and I'm so happy I found this school. Specifically, there's a great amount of variety. I love how they review several styles of improv: Los Angeles (of course), Chicago, London, Asian, New York, Canadian... Every instructor has lent unique perspectives and has been very approachable. I often attend shows at other schools that seem much more intimidating.
My favorite aspect has been the chance to meet cool peeps! Most of my classmates have been like me, just looking to have fun (not trying to get famous or anything). It's interesting how we've been able to connect from different walks of life, from creative professionals to teachers to IT. There's something magical about improv that brings everyone together.
Thanks to my experiences with Improv LA, I feel more confident and more vocal in all areas of my life. If you're shopping for an improv school, I'd definitely recommend this one!
