Why You Should Study with Neal Dandade
I think a lot of improv teachers like to surround themselves with a shroud of mysticism and status, consciously or not.
As the carriers of knowledge and bearers of truth, not to mention amazing improvisers, they are intimidating.
That wall of experience and expertise is a hard barrier to cross. And some students never cross it.
None of this applies to Neal Dandade. In fact, he is the exact opposite. He is one of the most approachable human beings you’ll ever meet.
Yes, he’s experienced, knowledgeable, and talented, but those things are not the first things you encounter when talking to Neal.
Always with a big smile, there is nothing insincere in Neal’s interactions with you.
As a student, that’s tremendous. Neal’s openness and absence of judgement makes it easy for you to feel safe and comfortable around him. And because you feel those things, it’s easy to take risks in his class.
Whatever you do in class, whether the whole class is cracking up at your performance or left scratching their heads because of your choices, Neal is able to sum up what you did perfectly.
But here is what’s most amazing: he’s able to do that while stating how your choices are a reflection of your unique improv style.
Neal makes you aware of how you play, and he pushes you to use that awareness to break bad habits, move out of your comfort zone, and propel your own growth.
Study with Neal today. Get all the benefits of training with an improv guru without the angst of possibly disappointing one.
He’s sweet, sincere, knowledgeable, and cares — what else can you ask for?
Studying with Neal for my Level 2 Improv Class at the Pack Theater was a happy accident, and I can’t recommend any further why you should study with him. I probably could, but that’s for another post.
Thanks, Neal!
