Joy of Improv

Joy of Improv 

In this 3-week virtual course we will focus on unleashing our creative freedom. Crippling indecision, constant desire for approval, perfectionism, and fear of failure and rejection block our access to the playful energy and joy that make improv fun to perform and watch. During this course you will reconnect with the joy that comes from being in the moment, playing fearlessly, and liberate the joyful spirit within you. Come (re)discover the Joy of Improv!!

What makes an improv class with Betsaida different?

If you’re not outside your comfort zone, you won’t learn anything. Betsaida’s approach to teaching provides the voice that challenges and stretches you past what you thought you were capable of.
