We highly recommend our plyometric rubberized rolls. This product is a low density rolled rubber in 3/8 or 1/2 inch thicknesses. These give dancers the fast response and rebound needed when exiting pointe. It also absorbs impact to reduce leg injuries.

The Studio Subfloor Elite is a design that utilizes two layers. The bottom features a 6 mm rubber material to yield outstanding cushion. On top are firm, yet flexible, flat plastic tile layers for proper support.
