FAQ: I’m really nervous. And I don’t have a question, I just wanted to say that I’m nervous about taking an improv class.

It’s perfectly normal to be nervous about taking an improv class. It can be a scary thing. A little bit of nervousness can be a good sign that you are stretching yourself and trying something new. Don’t worry, we spend a lot of time in class helping everyone feel comfortable and safe. Our improv philosophy is that the less afraid people feel, the better their improv is going to be, so we deal with the fear right from day one. The first day of class is mostly group activities so you won’t be singled out. Improv training can actually help you get over nervousness or fears around strangers or groups.
