Hot off the press

The latest issue of Harlequinade  magazine is now available. 

Despite the wide spread acceptance of on line information there is still a place for the printed word. This conveniently sized A5, 16 page publication is ideal to read anywhere - on a train or bus, at home, or during a quiet moment at work.

Published twice a year by British Harlequin this issue reviews a diversity of events where Harlequin floors have been used - not only by the dance community, but in exhibitions and display. Read how a sprung dance floor was installed at the Royal Albert Hall for  Overture 2012 staged by Dance Umbrella and how the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing winners Tom Chambers and Camilla Dallerup wowed shoppers at the Peter Jones store on a Harlequin Fiesta floor - a floor that is rapidly gaining acceptance for ballroom dancing. News too of dance competitions and projects from around the world - America, France, Luxembourg,  Australia and Manila. Plus news of additions to the range of ballet barres and the introduction of a dance panel for Irish dance. There is an interesting story about the owner of the first Irish Dance Panel as well.

You can request Harlequinade online or just download  a copy.

Dance Umbrella uses Harlequin sprung dance floor

Once again Dance Umbrella called upon British Harlequin to provide a sprung dance floor for a major event - Overture 2012 staged at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Harlequin's installation team installed 85 panels of Harlequin Liberty Sprung floor completed with a black Harlequin Cascade dance surface on Steeldeck staging to transform the venue's hard flooring into a professional quality sprung dance floor for a company of some 120 young dancers.
