Harlequin’s Dance Floor Sectors
Making the correct choice of dance floor is vital when designing your performance space.
Whether you are looking for catwalk flooring, vinyl for an exhibition floor or any other type of events flooring, our professional solutions can be built to your specifications, allowing for a bespoke finish. You don’t need to spend your time looking for event flooring to hire as our event vinyl flooring is portable and durable so you can re-use it time and time again.
A sprung panel dance floor system offers some degree of bounce and flexes under impact. Performers need this to absorb shock and protect their joints from injury, especially when performing jumps and lifts. Harlequin’s expert team travel the world installing our range of Harlequin sprung floor systems in a wide range of venues. Sprung floor panel systems are additionally available as a portable option for purchase or temporarily installed as a part of our Harlequin dance floors for hire service.
Harlequin’s wide range of vinyl dance floors are used by the world’s top dance companies. Installed as a permanent floor in dedicated performance venues or dance studios, or as a portable solution for touring and pop-up events, a vinyl dance surface can be used alone or as a dance surface on top of a sprung floor. Harlequin’s range of vinyl floors offer better protection from the risk of slipping and falling.
Choosing a floor very much depends on the style of dance to be performed on it. Ballet, tap, jazz, national, modern, hip-hop or ballroom, Harlequin has a performance floor to suit your needs. With the help of Harlequin’s expert stage building and installation services we can build professional theatre and stage flooring. Harlequin’s expertise in stage construction and installation ensures optimal performance conditions on a stage that is both aesthetically pleasing and securely installed.

Harlequin’s experience and expertise in dance
Harlequin is widely recognised as the world’s leading authority on dance floors. Harlequin has always worked closely with the dance community to develop floors that dancers want to dance on. Flooring products in the Harlequin portfolio have evolved to meet the specific needs of a particular dance style and have been developed in conjunction with dancers themselves.
Aware of the high injury level among dancers, Harlequin is an active supporter of IADMS (International Association for Dance Medicine and Science) and of NIDMS (National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science). NIDMS, through shared expertise and a network of multidisciplinary partners, is working to provide better and more affordable access for all dancers to high quality, evidence-based, dance specific health care and dance science supported services.
Harlequin also provides backing and support for research work and is leading the quest for a relevant international standard for dance floors that can, in due course be referred to in specification documents. Meanwhile the information derived from research studies already informs new product development.
We also offer stage building and refurbishment services for large-scale professional performances as well as historic buildings and ballet wagons.
