Dancers need a floor that delivers a precise, consistent performance. But finding dance studio flooring that offers everything from the traction to the stability dancers need can be a challenge. And when you’re running a dance studio that teaches over 550 dancers every week, finding a flooring product with the durability needed becomes an even greater challenge.

That’s the challenge that Danielle, Owner of 3D Dance Studio in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, faced. Danielle had experienced other dance studio flooring products breaking and separating, and she needed a quality, reliable flooring product that was durable but that also offered the performance that her students needed.

“That is our biggest issue, finding a subfloor that then breaks when the kids tumble on it,” says Danielle. In search of the right studio flooring, she found Greatmats through an online search and discovered our three-part subfloor dance system. The system was suitable for installation on top of low pile carpet, another challenge that Danielle faced in her studios, plus it had to be easy to install.

Danielle initially installed this system in multiple dance studios and was pleased to find that the tiles lock into place easily and, most importantly, perform reliably without breaking like other flooring systems had.

“We have a high volume here,” says Danielle. “There’s over 550 kids coming for class every week. This is the only floor that I’ve been able to find that can hold that capacity and not break.”

She explains that the three-part system has a foam subfloor layer, and it’s topped by a one-foot snap-together tile. The floor features a Marley layer on top, creating the texture and traction that dancers need.

To date, Danielle has had the floor system for about eight years, and it’s held up to the studio’s intense use. Now that the studio is moving and expanding, Danielle has ordered more of the flooring. She’s able to take the existing flooring with her, and it’s performed so well that she’s buying extra flooring to cover the extra space in the new location. “We can transport it, it lasts forever, and it is the best dance floor product that you’ll be able to find,” she says.

In fact, the flooring has performed so well that Danielle has been telling others about it. “This is the best floor, I swear by it, I tell all of my friends about it,” she explains. She says the installation process is simple and easy, and the experience of working with Greatmats was “amazing.”

The Ideal Dance Studio Flooring System

At Greatmats, we’re proud to offer this dance studio flooring system that Danielle found to be such a great fit. The system is designed to meet studios’ needs when it comes to shock absorption, traction, ease of installation, and durability.

The foundation of the system is the Sport Plus Designer Foam Tile. These 2x2-foot tiles feature puzzle-style edges for a quick and simple DIY installation. The tiles are lightweight and easy to carry, plus they’re lead- and latex-free for safety. The tiles can be easily cut to fit an area, and the EVA foam is waterproof for excellent durability. If you need to expand your dance floor, you can order and attach more tiles, making it a very versatile subfloor.



The Court Floor Tile Flat Top adds stability to the cushion and shock absorption that the foam tiles provide. These tiles are static load tested to support 10,000 pounds per square foot, making them supremely durable and strong. They’re designed to withstand repeated assembly and disassembly, and they feature a tight interlock system that keeps them from pulling apart while in use, creating a stable foundation for your dance floor.



The Rosco Reversible Dance Floor creates an ideal surface for dancers. Ideal for ballet and soft shoe dance types, this flooring offers a great slip coefficient to support and enhance dancers’ performance. It’s reversible and removable, so it’s highly portable, plus it’s available in custom-cut lengths to minimize waste and stay within your budget. Paired with the other two elements, this Marley floor is the finishing touch on a quality dance floor that can withstand rigorous use, as evidenced by Danielle’s experience with it.
