Other new courses include Guitar II, Hip-Hop Dance, Total Body Workout, Video Platform Game Design (for ages 12-17), Reiki, Search Engine Optimization & Web Analytics, Social Media Analytics & Web Analysis, as well as the new Pearson Workforce Education Programs.

New tours include “Route 66. . .The Mother Road,” “The Bible & the Biltmore,” and “As Seen in Sunset Magazine,” a journey to the architectural and historical gems of Orange County.

SMC Community Ed will also be hosting an Open House on Saturday, Jan. 23 that will give participants the chance to meet instructors, enjoy presentations, attend a free lecture, and receive a 15 percent discount when registering at the event. (Details will be released later.)
