The BATS IMPROV School has been offering Bay Area classes since 1987.

Our program provides a safe & confidential environment for

participants to experience laughter, inspiration, friendship &

teamwork through affiliative and self-enhancing humor styles, while

learning improvisation basics BATS-style.

Here's what past students have said- “I took away some real life

skills while enjoying myself in the process- I look forward to doing

more.…I learned to embrace the art of being silly….A BLAST! The coach

was a real scream….New neurons developed….Would’ve liked this to have

lasted 3x longer….Increased self-confidence.…I love using the circus

bow in real life….A creative way to celebrate risk-taking, THIS IS

JUST WHAT YOU NEED, DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
