I recently took NJSDA's intro to improv class and was very very happy with my experience. First of all, the instructor is just A+++ in his expertise, his kind demeanor and his energy. The class was well assembled with adults all of whom had the same levels of (in)experience and willingness to participate and enjoy. The price was very reasonable and I'm considering taking additional classes. Keep up the great work. Thanks Bob!
