About The Wooden Floor
The Wooden Floor in Santa Ana, previously known as Saint Joseph Ballet, is an after-school organization that for 26 years has promised hope and opportunity to nearly 400 low-income youth annually. Dance education and performance are the core transformational elements through which youth change the way they think about themselves and develop the ability to reach their full potential. In the dance studio, rigorous training, creativity and self-knowledge lead to confidence, leadership, teamwork, well-being and joy. Academic programs, pre-collegiate mentoring and college scholarships ensure that our students succeed in school and are college ready. Since 2005, 100 percent of graduates from The Wooden Floor have enrolled in college, exceeding the national average for their peers threefold. Family Services at The Wooden Floor-counseling, crisis intervention and social service referrals-help families overcome hardships and navigate challenges. Community support enables these year-round programs to be offered free of charge. Bringing about generational change to break the cycle of poverty in our community is the long-term goal of The Wooden Floor.
