The local community college will kick up its heels around the world next week. Santa Monica College will celebrate International Education Week Tuesday, Nov. 16 with a “Festival of World Dance,” featuring moves from Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, West Africa and Spain. The free event will be held at 11:30 a.m. at the SMC Clocktower, 1900 Pico Blvd.

Dancers from the student troupe, Folklórico de SMC, will perform pieces from the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua. In addition, SMC students will perform Spanish flamenco and dances from Indonesia, Brazil and Ghana.

With more than 2,500 international students from 100-plus nations, SMC has one of the largest international student populations of any community college in the United States.

SMC is one of the many organizations nationwide that will celebrate International Education Week, a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Education.
