Arlington Community Education

Learn amazing tricks that will wow your friends and family. Real circus performers will teach you skills including hula hooping, spinning plates, balancing objects, twirling flags, and juggling. We will take our circus to new heights as we learn to walk on stilts. Together we will make a circus backdrop and end the week with a circus spectacular.

Spark your acting imagination by choosing short stories and bringing them to life on a classroom stage. Through improv and creative acting games, try out different characters, create sound effects, and reinvent stories to be your own. Each week, we will explore a new way of telling stories.

Make a movie! Your production team will brainstorm story ideas and write a script featuring witty dialog and convincing characters, with a role for everyone. Then you’ll take turns directing, acting, and filming with iPads. You'll edit your footage into a final movie that includes panning, transition shots, special effects, green screen backgrounds, and credits. We’ll screen our movies together and you can also watch yours again at home.
