The Best Flooring For Dancercise

By Lisa Hobbie Created: November, 2021 - Modified: October, 2023

Dancercise is an all-encompassing genre of exercise that is popular for people of all ages, and it combines dance and workout moves choreographed to music.

Jazzercise, aerobics, Zumba, Oola, and other dance fitness workout classes all fall under the dancercise genre. Group fitness classes are offered in dance studios and gyms, and others are available for at-home workouts via DVD videos, free or paid online platforms, post-Zoom downloads, and more.

When doing dancercise, having a workout floor on which to practice is imperative, as it provides freedom of movement, protection from injury, and anti-fatigue benefits. Greatmats offers the very best dance fitness flooring options, with the following 4 products representing some of the most popular options:

  1. EZ Portable Dance Floor Tile
  2. Dance Matting
  3. LonWood Performa Full Bolt
  4. Athletic Vinyl Padded Roll


These 4 products are all made from material that delivers all of the top benefits dance fitness participants will appreciate and love. Whether you’re interested in providing flooring for beginners, seniors, or all-star fitness fanatics, any of these 4 products will perform and deliver.

EZ Portable Dance Floor Tile 5/8 Inch x 1x1 Ft.EZ Portable Dance Floor Tile is a super versatile flooring solution that can go over nearly any subfloor or subsurface. It’s a product that is extremely durable and high quality, and it provides comfort, ease of movement, and anti-fatigue benefits.

This flooring has a commercial-grade vinyl wear layer that resists scratches and wear, resulting in a wood look that doesn’t need refinishing or maintenance.

When combined with a 3 to 6 mm rubber underlayment, this product will provide extra cushioning and shock absorption properties for a more comfortable workout.




''“The floor was easy to put together. It cleans exceptionally well and has held up to all kinds of usage (five classes per day plus large group lectures as needed) and still looks great!''

- Mary Pica-Anderson, L.E. Phillips Senior Center


This really is a popular choice among Greatmats customers. Mary Pica-Anderson of L.E. Phillips Senior Center utilized the 3mm rubber floor underlayment, which adds much-needed cushion and sound buffering qualities, making it a perfect multipurpose fit for the center.

''Jazzercise combines my love of education and fitness. We don't just dance. We do strength training. We have yoga fusion. We have personal training and the floor suits all of those needs. You can be barefoot on this floor and have a nice yoga class and not have to even need a mat.''

- Lisa, Jazzercise Cherry Hill Fitness Studio



Greatmats’ customer, Lisa Silver of Jazzercise Cherry Hill Fitness Studio loves using this matting system. She shared, “We do a lot of plyometrics - a lot of dance with jump work - so everybody has always said it's nice to have a little give when you're doing lunges, when you're doing plies, when you're doing work across the floor.

Kristi Richards of 413 Fitness accommodates senior citizens and those living with Parkinson’s. She shared, “So many of our clients fall on a consistent basis, so we wanted something with a little bit more give. These mats just took our gym to a whole new level.” After using the exercise flooring for about 5 months, Richards said she was pleasantly surprised at how easy they’ve been to clean.
