Harlequin - Specifying dance floors, a guide for architects

The purpose of this guide is to introduce architects to developments in dance floor technology and practice, specification issues including aesthetic versus performance considerations and why the choice of floor is also critical in minimising injuries to dancers. With a growing interest in the provision of spaces suitable for dance – for professional performance and rehearsal, private dance schools and throughout the education sector, there is increasing focus towards specifying dance floors that meet both performance aspirations as well as conforming to health and safety requirements.
