Types of Dance Studio Floor

At Greatmats, we offer several different types of dance studio commercial flooring options.

Rolls

We offer large rolls designed to cover a dance class floor in a single room for a reasonable price. Our portable rolls can cover an entire stage for a professional dance performance, too. The rolls are thin and made of vinyl to reduce the weight of the rolls.

Tiles

Tiles provide an easy-to-install option for creating a firm subfloor. We also offer tiles made to deliver a sprung floor, ensuring the highest level of safety and support for dancers. Some tiles work to create portable dance floors for events like weddings.

Underlayment Kits

Underlayment kits often contain a high-quality dance room floor layer, a cushioned layer, and a firm subfloor layer. The kits are made for easy DIY installations in a home, studio, or school.

Subfloors

Subfloors for dancing can consist of vinyl tiles, cushioned rubber or foam, or materials to create a sprung floor.

Dance Studio Flooring Q&A

Why is marley the best flooring for a dance studio?

Marley is the best flooring for a dance studio because it is cost-effective, slip-resistant, versatile for several styles of dance, and durable. It also looks great, making it suitable for performances and studio rehearsal sessions with parents looking on, ensuring your studio delivers a professional appearance.

What thickness should you plan for a dance floor?

The most common thickness when creating a dance floor is up to 2 inches, but the actual thickness depends on the level of cushioning you want to use. Some places that use marley alone would have a fraction of an inch of thickness.

Do I want portable or permanent dance studio flooring?

Choosing between portable and permanent dance studio flooring depends on whether you always practice and perform in the same location, like a studio, or whether you need to carry the floor with you to remote performances.

How do you clean dance studio flooring?

To clean dance studio flooring, you should sweep dust and debris daily. These contaminants can cause damage over the long run. Each week (or after heavy usage), use a cleaning product on the flooring to disinfect the material and remove oils left over from the dancers’ skin.

What types of flooring are used in a dance studio?

The different types of flooring you can use in a dance studio include interlocking subfloors, full rolls of marley, and wedge mats. The right flooring depends on the level of cushioning you want and the look you need for the final layout.
