The Facts about Sprung Floors for Dance
Product catalogue
Two important factors that contribute to a floor that allows dancers to perform confidently and safely are the dance surface and the sprung sub-floor beneath. Expecting anyone to dance on a hard, unyielding surface can lead to a variety of ankle and shin stress related injuries that may also reduce a dancer's career in the longer term. Medical specialists in dance injuries have established a link between the quality of the floor and injury. A floor with a consistent degree of spring is strongly recommended, as is the dance surface itself, which should offer a degree of 'traction' that allows dancers to be able to fully and artistically express their dance movements without the fear of slipping or falling due to a shiny or slippery surface.
