“Best improv class I have ever been to. The tutor did not do a lot of waffling but instead directed us as we worked. It meant we all got tons of floor time and so progressed quickly. Every week was filled with laughter and my confidence increased at a rapid rate. It enabled me to be a more dynamic public speaker at work and I lost my fear of performing in front of a crowd. I highly recommend these classes.”

“I ended up taking Sioux’s Improv classes for 5+ years. My work at that time was incredibly stressful so the classes were awesome escapism. The fun, learning and laughter every week kept me coming back for more! I loved the freedom that Sioux gave us to experiment while also encouraging and coaching from the side to help improve scenes and performances.”
