This was my second class with Vegas Improv Power and I had another great experience. Can’t wait for the next one!
I just finished my 3rd class with LVIP and I can't say enough good things. I was super anxious for my first class but the warm, welcoming, and encouraging environment that Natalie creates put me at ease from that point on. It has helped me build muscles in resilience and tolerance for discomfort, thinking on my feet, and overall mindset for trying new things. The exercises we do before break are short, fun, and focused, so I don't find much time to overthink what I could've done differently. The exercises after the break are a bit longer and challenging in a way that is still fun and digestible. I have never laughed so much in a class in my life. I love being surprised by (and surprising myself!) with the words that come out of our mouths unexpectedly in the moment. When I watch scenes being done by others (who by the end of every class I consider my friends), I feel inspired and proud. My spirit is always lifted by this session of learning and laughter going into the weekend. I believe I am a better, more vibrant communicator as a result of this class. I tell everyone I know about this program! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to Natalie and Ryan for making this possible. I really am undeniably changed. :) If you're on the fence: yes, it's vulnerable, but aren't all the best things in life? You'll laugh and connect with other humans in the best way. Go make magic together.
Absolutely loved Ryan’s improv workshop! I signed up to improve networking skills to feel better at professional events, and it helped with so much more than that! It’s a community builder, a friendships maker, and a perfect place to just be yourself, mess up and have lots of laughs along the way. Highly recommended!
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.
I joined this improv class to get more comfortable speaking my mind and feeling more confident in roles that require public speaking and leading meetings. What I didn’t expect was how much it helped me get out of my own head for 2.5 hours each week. Every class was full of laughter, and I always left feeling great afterward. I met an awesome group of people with genuinely good vibes, which made the experience even better. PS — doing this with my wife turned it into an unexpectedly great date night.
Signed up to help me improve my public speaking and networking ability. I also wanted to help with the overthinking I have in social situations. The class helped me and so much more. The exercises were great, the class took me out of my comfort zone but did it in a very supportive way, I had a great time each class, and met an awesome group of people. You will not be disappointed.
Great experience!!!!!!!!!! Ryan is such an awesome improv class teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theatre is neither my work nor my hobby. It's so random that I signed up for these classes. I did because I wanted to do something different and something outside my comfort zone. What I got out of it was meeting a ton of cool people, ton of laughter, wholesome joy and I learned a bit more about who I am and how my weird mind works. Don't over think it! Just sign up for the class. You will be glad that you did.
Great class! This is my third time around, a feel like I've gotten everything I wanted from taking each of these classes. Ryan is a very good, supportive instructor and most of my classmates have been highly supportive as well, and also a lot of fun to act with. I've also found the social environment quite positive, and I feel like learning improv has helped me cope with real life, which was my main goal. Like they say, the world is a stage, and now I'm ready to move on to the big one!
I have taken their course twice now. Each class has been more than fun. The games we play bring out the child in you including a lot of laughing and...
Natalie is a true professional with real improv chops and she prepared a simple, yet easily accessible class for my small sales group. Even those who were initially apprehensive about doing improv were immediately put at ease and had fun with it. And we all learned a lot about relationships and human interactions. I'd recommend Natalie and her group to anyone.
Going to a VIP drop-in (and then the 6-week Saturday class!) was genuinely one of the best things I’ve done for myself in the last decade. Natalie is an incredible instructor—warm, fun, and effortlessly supportive. I can’t imagine learning improv from anyone else. If you’ve been thinking about trying it, treat yourself. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
Had an absolute blast, the time flew by, and had such a laugh. Highly recommend, after this experience, it's given me the confidence to sign up for a six-week improvement class. It's a great outlet for those of us who are creative yet are stuck in drab suburbia! My advice: "Get out and invest in improve...It is medicine for the mind!"
My first time ever trying improv and it was great. I highly recommended trying it out.
Do not pass up on this! I had a great time! Our teacher Natalie was so into it! She brought so much passion! Talked about history, and principles. Excellent time management too! Class started on time and she used every min. to teach us and help us grow.
So much fun! I felt invigorated afterward. Even though the point is improvisation, the class content is thoughtful, organized, and presented in a very playful, yet simplified, manner. Don’t be scared. You’ll have a good time.
I had a really good time Natalie had brought the energy to the class making it welcoming and fun
I took the Wednesday class with Ryan and wow! It was blast! It was amazing getting out of my shell and enjoying improv like did as a teenager! Totally worth the time and a great value for the cost. Thanks for everything!
Fun experience! Great place to dip your toes into improv and learn to get comfortable improving
Joining this improv class has been one of the most meaningful and transformative steps I’ve taken for myself. As someone who finds comfort in being introverted and often struggles with how to interact socially, this class became a safe and empowering space for me to grow and challenge myself. At first, I felt completely out of place and incredibly awkward. I was in my head a lot, unsure of how to connect or just let go. But I quickly realized, I wasn’t alone. Everyone in the class, including our amazing teacher Ryan, created such a welcoming and encouraging environment. Seeing others show up for themselves helped inspire me to do the same. Improv gave me a new perspective on myself, how I show up, where I hold back, and how freeing it can be to just play and be in the moment. Ryan’s guidance helped me understand that it’s okay to mess up, to freeze, to say something that feels off. That’s where growth happens. And surprisingly, some of those moments brought out real parts of me I hadn’t seen before. By the second session, I already felt a shift. I still get in my head sometimes, but I’m noticing the difference. I’m speaking up more, laughing more, and allowing myself to just enjoy the process. It’s been an incredible tool for building confidence, learning to connect with others, and feeling more at ease socially. If you’re looking for a supportive, fun, and encouraging space to step out of your comfort zone, I highly recommend this class. It’s a great investment in yourself, to grow, to meet new people, and to learn how to simply be present and enjoy the moment. Cant wait for my 3rd session to be in Vegas Improv Power to see what else will evolve from within! Trust and Bet on yourself, its worth it!
Lots of fun and a great way to meet a diversity of people in the Las Vegas community! As a former theater nerd, Vegas Improv Power offers a low pressure, low time commitment way to tap back into my love of the theater arts. It's also a great way to exercise the mind for getting better at thinking on one's feet. Highly recommend!
I joined as a way to confront my social anxiety issues, and what I found was a super fun experience that helped me gain a ton of confidence in myself as well as a bunch of cool new friends and acquaintances! Every class was a joy and left me feeling great!
Wonderful experience that I highly recommend to anyone! While the class is not geared for performing on a wide stage, it is a great and low stress way to get in. Ryan teaches an extraordinary class and I was in stitches from laughing at the end of each class!
Vegas Improv Power delivered an incredible experience for our team! From the start, they were incredibly accommodating, working within our budget to provide a high-quality, engaging workshop. The session was not only fun and energizing but also full of practical takeaways that we can apply directly to our work. Ryan created a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone felt comfortable stepping outside their comfort zone. By the end, we felt more connected as a team and left with a new perspective on communication, adaptability, and collaboration. Highly recommend for any organization looking to strengthen teamwork in a fun and meaningful way!
One of the best, most zany experiences of my life! Ryan the instructor was compassionate, patient and energizing. Helped me with my anxiety, public speaking and brain elasticity (?). But most importantly, it was super fun!
I started a second career in sales recently, but it had been a few years since I actually did a live sales presentation. I wanted to work on my presentation skills and found Vegas Improv Power. Ryan's "Yes, And" class blew away my expectations. As a guy who typically sticks to sports and video games, I was nervous walking in, but the environment was zero pressure. No forced comedy or spotlight moments - just practical exercises that actually improved my client interactions. What stands out is how Ryan teaches improv for real-life situations. The class was filled with other local Las Vegas professionals (not theater types), all looking to build confidence and communication skills. Six weeks later, I feel more confident and my sales pitches flow naturally and I'm way more comfortable with unexpected client questions. Plus, I made a few new friends. If you're considering trying something new that actually delivers results, Vegas Improv Power is worth every penny. Best decision I've made for my business growth this year.
We went as a group of ~20 during a corporate offsite and had a blast! Natalie was our contact and texted me the morning of to make sure I was all set to go with timing, address, etc. The team was laughing the entire time and learned some new skills when facing customers, prospects, and all the opposition that may come along.
This is a awesome experience for anyone looking to learn about improv it super fun an time well spent
Took my first 6 week course couple months ago and I'm already hooked in the world of improv. It's incredibly fun, hilarious, and supportive. Natalie and...
I took my first ever improv class taught by Natalie and it was an absolute blast! Natalie was the philosophical, improv sherpa that helped me, an introvert, navigate this new terrain that is improv. Her energy and enthusiasm was as infectious as COVID. I know I looked stupid and said some stupid stuff, but Natalie would focus on the positive aspects of what I did, she created a safe place to fail miserably. Her veteran experience at Second City completely shows when she teaches/coaches and when you improvise with her. I am eternally grateful I had Natalie as teacher for my first improv class, but I don't think my wife will be as grateful, as I found another thing to geek out/love/obsess over.
Performers, professionals in any field, and newbies will all benefit from training with Natalie. I took a 6-week improv series with Natalie, and I can’t recommend her enough. As a professional performer in Las Vegas, it is important to find the teachers that will facilitate continued play and productive growth. Natalie is an authentic and highly skilled trainer who excels at balancing new talent and experienced practitioners within a single group. Natalie’s class was a fantastic refresher and I picked up several new nuggets of wisdom. Natalie is a master at processing exercises for just the right amount of time to integrate the learning, facilitate ensemble building, and refract the experiences into life outside class. Natalie is one of the most legitimate improv teachers that you will find in Las Vegas. Any of her classes will be worth your investment of time and money.

Recently wrapped up the 6-week "Let's Play" session and let me tell you, as an introvert, this was one of the most non-threatening classes I have ever taken. Ryan and Natalie are fantastic! The support and enthusiasm they lead with will have you excited to get out there and play. And, I met some great people whom I hope to have the pleasure of performing with - or at least hanging out with - again in the near future. Try it, do not be afraid!

I've done 2 classes with Ryan and Natalie and both have been absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to do more and I can hardly stay away! A dedicated space to improve communication, listening, and collaboration all while playing fun games and challenging myself to try new things is an experience we rarely get as adults! Absolutely worth it!
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.
