If you are reading this review you are doing the right thing This is one place where you truly don’t have to hold back. In fact, Ryan encourages it. Be yourself, say whatever comes to mind, and don’t worry about whether it makes sense at first just let it out. This class completely changed the way I communicate and think. There are no wrong answers, no right answers, no judgment—just a fun and engaging environment where everything somehow comes together in the end. And the end is fun trust me it is Ryan is an amazing teacher. No matter what we said or how silly we got, he remained calm, patient, and encouraging. He created a space where everyone felt comfortable being themselves and sharing their ideas. If you’re looking for a fun evening, a chance to meet new people, expand your vocabulary, build confidence, and explore new ways of thinking, I strongly recommend this class. Every penny spent was worth it and then some If you’re reading this review, go ahead and sign up. You won’t need to read any other reviews after this one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I just finished Ryan’s improv class and had a great experience. The classes were a lot of fun, and Ryan created a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable participating. The group was full of great people, and it was awesome getting to meet and laugh with everyone each week. Whether you’re completely new to improv or have some experience, I’d highly recommend this class. Ryan is a fantastic teacher who keeps things engaging, encouraging, and entertaining. I learned a lot and had a blast the entire time. Thanks, Ryan, for such a fun experience!

Tonight I just graduated from the most awesome improv class after six weeks. Talk about the time of your life….. Well, this is it! Our instructor Ryan is just awesome. He is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home and Instantly he has activities that you get to know one another in such a calm way. The exercises that we do are so funny and it seemed by the end of the first week. We were all excited already. I will have to say That Ryan is probably the best improving instructor that I’ve ever come across in all of my life. He Is genuine and sincere and over the top funny! I don’t know where he comes up with all these ideas, but he’s definitely got it all together and is an exceptional teacher. We joined this class and hoping to meet people and get out to do something fun and we have found that we have formed a community and all of us have connected in someway shape or form. Our little group already has plans to do something Together next week. If you are single or a couple or new in town or somebody who just wants to mingle with others Then this is for you!

I had been wanting to dabble in improv for a while and finally jumped in- it’s everything I thought it would be and more! It’s fun, it keeps you moving, laughing and guessing. You never know what’s about to happen and that’s the point! Ryan is an excellent guide and champions the participants, even when it goes a direction he didn’t even see coming. If you want to explore your ability to be in the moment, I highly recommend Vegas Improv Power!

These classes truly are for everyone. I’ve taken two so far and day 1, I was very quickly reminded just how much fun it is to break out of a shell. I’ve done improv before, but we had plenty of first timers, so everyone is represented. It’s really easy now a days to get stuck in a routine and this a good way to break that routine every week. Natalie’s a great teacher and will get you up and moving. Try it out.

It was such a fun time, got me out of my shell quite a bit, and gave me a lot of experience with what to do when I don't know what to say. Highly recommend for anyone interested in just getting better at communication or just looking for some fun with friends. After the last class I went home and signed up for the next six week session. P.S. Ryan was/is great!

Just finished my first 6-week improv class, Let’s Play, and will definitely be back! I was on the fence but saw improv as a way to improve communication in one of my professional organizations and decided to take the leap. It ended up being much easier and fun than I ever imagined and I also learned a lot. Can’t recommend this class enough!

Natalie hosted a team building event for us and it was fantastic. I was a little concerned that improv wouldn’t land for our professional group but it totally did. Would highly recommend.

One of the best things I’ve done is take my first improv classes here. It’s helped me come out of my shell a bit and to finally meet cool people since moving here. You can tell Natalie enjoys teaching improv which makes it easy to get into games. Highly recommend coming here.

What Can You Learn From Improv?

While improvisation is generally associated with comedy and theatre (and it absolutely is, even when online!), there are also so many life benefits you can take away from a typical improv class. Communication is a huge part of what we teach and do, both verbal and non-verbal, but we also learn about ourselves in the process. Whether you want to grow as a person, or you want us to help your team get to the next level, read on to learn about some topics that we tend to cover often.

Communication Skills

Listening and reacting are at the core of what improvisation is all about. But of course, it encompasses so much more. You don't want to listen just to react, you want to listen to understand, connect, and collaborate with your scene partner (or, with whomever you're talking to). We learn how to actively listen, how to say yes, how to show instead of tell, how to tell a story, and ultimately, how to get out of your head and be more present.

How to Move Forward, Even in Failure

Our co-founder, Ryan, describes an improv class as a safe environment where you learn how to fail. We learn not to fear failure, but to see them as gifts, or opportunities. We embrace failure by getting out of our heads, taking steps forward, and trusting (both ourselves, and others) that we will figure it out as we go. In improv, as in life, you're never alone, no matter how much it feels like you are.

Mental Agility and Adaptability

Whether it's due to age, life's stressors, or for seemingly no reason at all, we have all felt like we're just a little less sharp, a little less quick, and a little more forgetful than we used to be. Improv exercises your brain in specific ways. Much like trying a new way home from work, or trying to write with your opposite hand, the games and exercises in our classes bring you directly into the present moment just enough to help you learn a bit while trying new things.
