About us
Founded in 1983, The Wooden Floor is one of the foremost creative youth development nonprofit organizations in the country. We transform the lives of young people in low-income communities through the power of dance and access to higher education. In Orange County and through national licensed partners, we use a long-term approach grounded in exploratory dance education to foster the confidence and gifts within each child to innovate, communicate, and collaborate – skills necessary for success in school and in life. 100 percent of students who graduate from The Wooden Floor immediately enroll in higher education. Our students become change agents and beacons of hope within their own families, their neighborhoods, our community, and our world.

On this day in 1999, the opening of The Wooden Floor’s flagship location in Santa Ana was celebrated with a community of supporters, friends, volunteers, as well as children served through the organization, and their families. Our Main St. location’s inspirational shape was designed by Ernesto Vasquez, FAIA, who serves on our Board of Directors and formerly served as Board Chair. We thank supporters like you, whose steadfast commitment and loving hearts ensure our students have the hope and opportunity to pursue their big dreams for their bright futures ahead. #FromHereYouCanStepAnywhere #DanceIsTheAnswer #SupportingTheArts #DanceEducation #SantaAna
