Improv for Middle Schoolers

Has your child always wanted to take an improv class, but you haven't been able to commit the time or the money? Well, commit to The Bit, instead! Our Youth Improv courses will teach your child the basics of our approach to improvisation, and will also help them in school, relationships, and social situations. NO improv or acting experience is necessary for this class.

This class runs for eight weeks, with a class performance after the final session. This class is intended for students aged 10-13 years old. If your child can't wait to get started, check out our weekly kids' drop-in class! Thank you!

Learning improv is useful for your child for so many reasons. Here are a few of them:

• Active Listening. Improv will strengthen your child's active listening skills, which are crucial to all of their relationships, including at school and at home.
• Body Language. The way your child moves, sits, and stands can be just as communicative as the words they say. Improv will teach them how to convey their openness to listening physically as well as audibly.
• Communication. As the world reconnects more every day, it's important that we don't forget how to communicate our ideas and feelings to one another. The most crucial lesson your child will learn in improv is how to express themself clearly and concisely, even in front of strangers or in a crowd.
• Collaboration and Team Building. A crucial tenet of improv learning how to work together to create something as a common goal. Improv will teach your child not only how to lead, but also how to be supportive in a group environment.

Our owners taught for years at the grade school, middle school, and high school levels. If you'd like to see a performance prior to committing, we have a monthly kids show.

We will add classes for additional age levels based on demand, so if your child isn't in the right bracket for this class, please sign up for our mailing list to get updates on additional classes.

Please don't hesitate to call or email us with any questions.
