Floor for Irish dance


Harlequin Liberty Sprung Panels are remarkably versatile. The popular sprung floor is proving ideal for a variety of dance forms with the Irish Dance Panel being just the latest to owe its origin to Liberty. The history of the latest incarnation can be traced back to 2004 when Spanish flamenco star Maria Pages was looking for a floor that not only was right for dance but produced the right sound as well. Harlequin recognised that Irish dancers face many of the same issues as flamenco and other forms of percussive dance and adapted the Liberty system into  1 x 1 metre panels specifically for Irish dancers to use as practise floors.  The dance surface is Harlequin Cascade, the heavy-duty non-slip vinyl preferred by Riverdance and used in their performances for many years.
