    <title>The New Movement - Level 1 Improv Class</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;The New Movement is Austin's newest comedy training center helmed by two of Austin's most experienced performers and teachers. Our improv classes are geared towards finding the fastest way to have fun - a philosophy that will apply to any craft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our next Level 1 session begins Monday April 6th, runs for 8 weeks, and is held 6:00-8:00p. We are currently registering for this class (max students: 10).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want a sample? Improv Zero is held the first Wednesday of every month and is completely free. It's always followed by TNM's Shootaround, a jam where everybody is welcome to hop on stage and play.&lt;/p&gt;
