Why does the type of dance floor used make a difference?
All of the dance floors at the Colorado Academy of Music and Dance are true sprung floors with professional “marley” dance surfaces. Sprung dance floors cushion impact, protecting muscles, joints, and bones from the rigors of dance training. The sprung floor also reduces fatigue, allowing dancers to dance longer. The “marley” surface is a professional used by most professional dance companies. It provides additional cushioning and gives the appropriate amount of grip to protect dancers from unnecessary slips and falls. Working on a dance floor laid directly on a concrete sub floor, or an inappropriate surface leaves dancers open to impact injuries, falls and increased fatigue.
