Arlington Community Education

Love a good laugh? Unlock your creativity, practice teamwork, and explore your silly side as we play a series of theater games that build on quick thinking, imagination, concentration, and confidence. Learn the basics of improvisational acting and non-scripted storytelling as we work collaboratively to create original characters and invent scenarios. No theater or improv experience is necessary.

Unleash your creativity by learning how to create your very own digital music composition. From start to finish, you will learn all of the ins-and-outs of what it takes to produce a song from scratch with the easy to use digital audio workstation Soundtrap. Discover how to compose a song in the style of your favorite music genre—everything from pop, techno, rap, and more. No prior musical experience is required, just a love and passion for music.

Explore the musical journeys and cultural impacts of some of today’s most influential pop princesses, from Taylor Swift’s storytelling prowess to Beyoncé’s powerhouse performances, Olivia Rodrigo’s raw emotional depth, and Britney Spears’ iconic legacy. We will also highlight rising stars like Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande. Through engaging discussions, multimedia presentations, plenty of singing and dancing, and creative projects like designing album covers and creating fan art, we will unleash our inner pop stars as we celebrate the queens of contemporary music.
