Flooring for Dance Studios

Our hardwood and vinyl dance flooring systems are suitable for both commercial and community studios as well as for home studio use.  They can be installed in any venue provided there is a level and dry subfloor.  

A multi purpose studio refers to a space that has flooring suitable for various types of activities as well as different forms of dance. For example Boen Actiflex is a sprung floor solution designed for dance disciplines but also caters for fitness and sports activities making it a popular option for schools and community halls.

Hardwood flooring which is engineered is compatible with underfloor heating.  Some solid wood options may not be suitable as the material may expand/contract with changing temperatures.

Dance floor mats provide an excellent surface for various forms of dance. They have the right balance of grip and glide, ensuring dancers can perform all their moves safely without slipping. Dance floor mats are also portable and easy to install, making them a great option for performances, practice spaces, dance studios and even home use.

Choosing the right dance flooring for your studio depends on the types of dance that will be performed and the dancers' skill level. For ballet, tap, or jazz, a solid, resilient surface such as a hardwood floor or a high-quality, vinyl marley floor is ideal. For more athletic styles like hip-hop or street dance, you may need a sprung floor with better shock absorption. It's also crucial to consider factors like durability, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with underfloor heating.

Yes, the type of dance greatly influences the choice of flooring. Styles such as ballet, tap or contemporary require surfaces with strong grip and resilience. These styles often prefer hardwood or marley dance floors. Meanwhile, more athletic or high-impact dance styles may need sprung floors for better shock absorption and dancer safety. It's essential to consider the specific needs and activities performed in your dance studio when selecting your flooring.
