What is The Wooden Floor About?
At The Wooden Floor, our mission is to inspire and transform the lives of young people through the power of dance and access to higher education. 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.
The Wooden Floor’s results align with the Orange County Department of Education’s goal to foster the Five Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Character to prepare students for their futures. At The Wooden Floor, we foster a sixth C: Courage.
