Artistic Partners

“The Wooden Floor selects choreographers who are leading in the genre of contemporary dance across the nation. We specifically look for artists who can co-create with our students to develop the works that we see on stage, and who also have a keen interest and dedication to making a difference in the lives of young people.”
–Dawn S. Reese, CEO, The Wooden Floor

We work closely with our Artistic Partners in order to match our young dancers’ raw talent, openness, innocence, and energy—which demands our established Artistic Partners to approach their work in new ways.

As a result, the collaboration brings layered, authentic performances that provoke and surprise.
