Options for Tap Dance Floors


A tap dance floor has to do far more than look good – although good looks certainly don’t hurt! For tap dancing practices or performances, delivering a pure sound and providing the proper level of base support under the floor is vital to a successful performance.

At Greatmats, we offer multiple types of tap dance floors that will give you the benefits you need. Our permanent and portable tap floor products work at a studio, at home, or at a performance center. Whether you want a roll of marley flooring, a tap mat, or interlocking floor tiles, we have all these products and more. Our high-quality tap dance floor products help you put your best foot forward … and backward … and forward … and backward. (You get the idea.)

Types of Portable Tap Dance Floor Products


You can primarily select between two different types of tap dance flooring products.

Marley Rolls


Marley rolls consist of an extremely thin piece of vinyl, sometimes as thin as 1.5 mm (about 1/16 of an inch). Even though they are extremely thin, these rolls work equally well with both hard- and soft-soled shoes. They work with a tap dance board or without.

Although Greatmats offers many large rolls for studios, we also have rolls sized for easier use at home at about 5.25 by 8 or 10 feet. We offer subfloors that provide the same support as a tap dance board, too.

Modular Tiles


Modular tiles work well for creating an individual tap dance practice area. You can make the space as large or small as you want. We also offer kits with a 3-by-3-foot preconfigured size, which is perfect for a practice area at home.

Where to Use a Tap Dance Floor


You can set up your tap flooring in a variety of locations, depending on the particular needs you have.
  • Home: Set up a practice space in a bedroom or basement.
  • Studio: Studios can install our floors to handle busy practice schedules.
  • Traveling performances: Take a portable tap dance floor with you to your performances.
  • Theater performances: If you have a permanent area for performances at a theater or stage, you can use some of our flooring products for a long-term installation.

Benefits of Using Tap Dance Flooring


Some of the biggest benefits of using high-quality tap-specific flooring from Greatmats instead of general flooring when practicing tap dancing include:
  • High-quality sound feedback
  • Adjustable coverage size
  • Portability when needed
  • Individually-sized kits for use at home
  • Versatility, as options can go over multiple types of subflooring
  • Permanent installations for practices or performances
  • Wood grain pattern for a stylish look
