Joined the Thursday jam and everyone was so warm and welcoming. Great fun playing with improvisers I had never met before. Everything just flowed. Total YES! And...
RockyCalifornia
The world would be a kinder, more peaceful place if we followed the improv rules in every interaction: make everyone else look good; have everyone else's back; respond with agreement by saying "Yes...and..."
LindaEaston, Maryland
Every member of the group feels supported enough to take risks. I could not ask for a more welcoming and supportive group of improvisers to learn and laugh alongside, making Reflex classes the highlights of each week.
SarahFairfax, Virginia
Reflex Improv provides a safe and fun way to learn ways of improv, and I look forward to class each week. Classes build on skills, while honoring both newbies and veterans. After the first class, I slept better than I have in months. I'm hooked!
JanetReston, VA
Improv is so much fun! Classes are friendly and supportive and I look forward to the laughs each week. The bonus is that the "yes, and" carries over - I've become more flexible and easy going in my daily life. Thank you Reflex Improv!
MelissaReston, VA
Trying something new like improv can be scary but you always feel safe and supported with Reflex Improv and you're guaranteed to laugh each class, which is mood-lifting. I've learned so much in the classes and have used some of it in my workplace, sharing the goodness with my colleagues and helping them to 'Yes and'!
AdrienneLoudoun, Virginia
Everyone is super relaxed and full of joy. If you have a hectic life, then I recommend you give the intro classes a shot. You can thank me later.
KhaderFairfax, Virginia

ECRiverside, California
Reflex Improv has done a wonderful job of setting up outdoor improv classes in a way that respects social distancing. It's lots of fun!
DanEaston, Maryland
Even someone with no experience in performance can begin to feel at home, because while in group everyone has your back, helping, supporting, feeding you information and nurturing your response. It can be a very organic thing, this improv, and a great feeling, when you know you've just made a connection with another person. Satisfying, is what it is..
