How are Small Group Private Classes different Than Community Workshops?

In small group private classes, you get more time performing in front of the class and get more coaching from the instructor.

Small group private classes typically take place over 6-12 weeks / sessions whereas community workshops are usually one 2-3 hour class.

In small group private classes, the class is capped at 16 students whereas in community workshops it's 30 -100+ students.

In small group private classes we normally spend the last 60-90 minutes of class time having students to do games and scene work up in front of the class.

In community workshops of 30 -100+ people, there isn't enough time for everyone to do scenes / games in front of the class and to get personalized coaching and adjustments from the instructor. Instead, community workshops are run like a basketball practice where you do paired and small group drill that build skills. Lots of play and reps in community workshops which is super valuable for skill development, but practically no time in front of the class for individualized coaching / adjustments.
