Improv

Whether it’s for performance or just a fun hobby, improvisation skills can make children more aware of the subtle messages all around them. It can make them respond quicker than they normally would. It can lower the fear level associated with risk taking. Besides being useful in every area of life, improvisation is just plain fun and a great way to make life-long friendships!
