× Class Description: Are you a teen that is interested in improv but don’t know where to start? You have arrived at the right place. Spontaneity is the first of VTS’s Teen Core classes that help teens learn the important basics of improv. Whether you want to learn improv skills to be on Saturday Night Live or you want to learn them so you can be better at speaking in groups, the ability to confidently communicate your ideas is a very valuable skill. The improv tools learned in this class are transferable to all aspects of your life. In this lively and supportive class (8 hours spread over four weeks), you will learn how to work as a team, how to be a good listener, how to build on the ideas of others and how to confidently express your own ideas. You’ll learn how to relax to allow your creative ideas to flow and along the way you will laugh (a lot) and make new friends. Sound fun? It is! Come play.

Note: There is no showcase or performance with this class. Students will complete the three classes in the Teen Core series before moving onto the Teen Performance Studio program.
