What Mums Say!

“We enjoyed the classes, it definitely got my introverted side to become more outgoing and extroverted. It was nice to connect with other mums in a fun environment.” – Alisha, mum of twins

“It was really fun and got Freddie using his imagination!” – Sara, mum of two under two

What is Teggies Improv?

Teggies Improv is a not-for-profit community group that runs improv classes for mothers and babies/toddlers (6 – 36 months) in spring and sometimes in autumn (depending on demand). Where mothers can’t make it, we are happy to welcome fathers or grandparents to our classes!

Aim of Teggies Improv: Strengthen the connection between mothers and their babies through the playful art of improvised theatre! We would also like to form friendships and a support network between mothers in the local and nearby areas.

Class Structure

Our seasonal classes run over 7 weeks, with one class a week! The first class is a taster, while the other six are themed, drop in style classes. Please follow our Teggies Improv Facebook page for more class details and videos on the types of games we play.

We usually spend around 45 minutes playing, then we have a chat and a cup of tea together.

> 1 x Taster Session

> 6 x Classes (Drop in style, themed)

Where does it run? Our classes currently run at the Ratby Village Hall, Leicestershire, LE60LN.

What is the cost? The class is currently 3 pounds per adult, for up to three children.

Funding

The Spring 2026 classes were funded by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council, in collaboration with The Voluntary and Community Sector (Community Volunteer Fund Grant Scheme).
Classes will have a small fee from Spring 2027. These funds are used for hiring the room and class materials.

What happens in a class? We play improv games to create characters and stories together. Some examples may include mirroring games, one word at a time stories, miming and giving gifts, creating human statues and music boxes, scene games like translator, where babies are experts in a field like astrophysics and a mummy translates, plus much more! Please have a look at our YouTube channel below to find out more.

Who runs the class? Dr Anamaria Weston is the chair of Teggies Improv Community Group and usually runs the classes. As the group evolves, other trained and DBS checked teachers may become available. You can find out about Anamaria’s storytelling and improv experience on the linked page. Hope to see you soon!
