Improv Classes
CSz improv and applied improv classes are a fun, supportive way to learn improvisational thinking and gain self-confidence. Don’t be fooled into thinking improv is just for performers - many of our students use improv to develop business soft-skills, and communicate better - and they meet other cool people! Unless otherwise specified, our improv classes are for ages 18+.
