Annual Auditions

October 21, 2023 | 8:30am-1:30pm1810 N. Main St., Santa Ana

Why should I audition?

The Wooden Floor is not a dance studio. We are a creative youth development organization that uses the power of dance to help children access higher education.

  • A path to college – 100% of The Wooden Floor’s
    graduates finish high school on time and immediately enroll in higher education
  • Free dance education and performance opportunities
  • Free tutoring and college and career readiness workshops
  • Free family counseling and parent workshops

 

What do I need to know?

 We are looking for students who:

  • Demonstrate enthusiasm and a love for movement
  • Are in the 3rd through 5th grade on or before October 21, 2023
  • Have financial need

Children do not need any dance experience and should not have anything prepared for the audition.

Doors are open from 8:30am-1:30pm. Students in line by 1:30pm are guaranteed to audition.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and should wear comfortable clothing. Children will be asked to remove their shoes and go barefoot during the audition.
