The Harlequin range of ballet dance floors
A professional ballet dance floor provides a soft surface with some degree of traction. This minimises the chance of slipping or falling which can be common among ballet dancers on poor flooring due to the lack of grip from ballet shoes. A softer surface aids a ballet dancer’s performance by absorbing some of the shock experienced as a result of repetitive movement, thus lessening the impact to joints and risk of injury.
Harlequin’s expert teams travel globally installing ballet flooring in a wide range of venues, from local studios to some of the world’s most prestigious venues.
Whether you want ballet flooring for your dance studio, theatre or event, take a look at our professional ballet dance floors which are suitable for a wide range of budgets:
