“Dancers perform two to five times per year at small events and collaborations, large productions featuring live musicians and handmade costumes, and are even hired to be in a local production of The Nutcracker,” explains Deann Snyder, a founding member of RDE and a member of the RDE Artistic Director Committee. “We have a small but growing adult class program that offers ballet and contemporary/modern to the community. We are well known for delivering emotive and thoughtful performances with beautiful original costumes.”
A Portable Dance Floor For Traveling Performances
Given that RDE performs out in the community, the studio needs a quality dance floor that is easy to transport and suitable for performances and practices. The studio that RDE has rented four the last four and a half years has a Greatmats marley dance floor. “We loved the marley we were dancing on, so we wanted to get the same kind,” explains Snyder.A donor sponsored the purchase of RDE’s new marley, and the group performed on the dance floor for the first time in June 2023. “We hope to have it in our new studio space when we find a new home,” Snyder says. “It gave us the perfect amount of friction for sliding and pointe work, and we just loved it. Everyday we warmed up on it and shared our intention for the show and really bonded.”
RDE bought enough flooring for their 32x32-foot stage. Snyder says that the installation process was simple and required minimal trimming.
Not only did Snyder appreciate the new marley floor, several dancers noted that the new floor was “the best.”
