    “This is an amazing class! It has been a huge game-changer for me. Not only has it been an outlet and a place to laugh (which we do a lot!), but I feel like I learned so much about comedy as a craft. I can’t wait to take the next level and explore more! Dana is so knowledgeable and creates an environment that is both fun and safe to get silly. We also built such a fun team dynamic, it has been really special. I <3 improv!”

By the end of the course, I had developed a sense of trust and comradery with my classmates as well as an unwavering confidence that I will always be able to rely upon in new social situations. I cannot recommend this course enough.”

    “I took Improv 101 and 201 and it was a blast - such a great way to be creative and fun with like-minded people. Feels really cool to be connected to the community.”

  • Amber P.

    “I was nervous to start taking improv classes. I didn’t know what to expect. Dana is wonderful at putting everyone at ease and explaining scene work and games. This is my second class, I can’t wait for the next one. Improv has improved my confidence in everyday situations and allowed me to just roll with the punches.”

  • Lori W.

    “Wondering about your purpose in life? Well, take Dana’s class - and you probably won’t find it, but you will learn it doesn’t matter because you will laugh instead.”

  • Luke C.

    “I highly recommend this class! Dana Moore is a phenomenal teacher that brought a warm, fun environment that made me feel comfortable to be myself and learn! If you have not taken improv, do it! It’s an experience you will not forget.”

  • Sierra H.

    “Improv 101 with Dana was so informative and so fun. Playing improv games, learning different forms, getting all the tips and tricks was awesome. I feel so much more comfortable with improv now! I loved working with our team - it truly felt like playing pretend with amazing friends. I couldn’t recommend Dana enough as a teacher. She’s engaging, attentive, hilarious, and so so wise!”

  • Em E.

    “Oh! Man! This process truly has unlocked things for me that I wasn’t expecting. Dana has a way of making things that scare the shit out of you approachable, comfy, doable, and super goddamn fun. Dana is a bit of a wizard with years of improv knowledge that she drops like little gold nuggets we get to collect. Taking this class and in general spending time with Dana is a gift. The bond I created with my classmates was also really incredible. Wahoo to clowning and gaining confidence with something that didn’t previously feel doable. The games, play, and ease of this process was surprising and exciting. Stoked to keep learning! If you get the chance to learn from Dana, do it.”

  • Penni A.

    I took the Improv 101 class and loved it! I have never performed onstage and I was way out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I did it. I wanted a new, different experience and Dana delivered! The ad hooked me in with fun games - I laughed so much during our classes. If you are thinking of joining in - DO IT! You will not be sorry!”

  • Marina W-J.

    “This class made such a terrifying concept so approachable! Dana helped show us how easily and inherently fun we all naturally are. Improv feels less like a mental comedic workout, and more like a chill storytelling and cooperative story writing activity now. I learned how to better trust myself and my teammates in this process. I’d recommend anyone interested in infusing your life with more confidence and creative play to give this class a go.”

  • Jeff J.

    “These classes have been so fun, it has helped me with my stand up comedy and has helped me day to day with conversations and made me feel more confident.”
