Kent Dance Challenge takes place on Harlequin dance floors

The Kent Dance Challenge once again was staged on a Harlequin Studio dance floor. British Harlequin plc were pleased to provide the floor for the finals of Kent Dance Challenge 2009 which took place on Saturday, 24th October in Maidstone, Kent. 

Harlequin Studio is a special hardwearing floor covering designed for dance, studio and stage use. It was quick and easy to install at the venue having been transported there rolled up in sections and contained in Harlequin Roll Storage Bags. The slip-resistant surface provided performers with confidence against the risk of falling, allowing them to concentrate on performing demanding choreography and movement. Thanks to a firm but lightweight foam backing it also offers a degree of protection against hard sub-floors. Studio can be laid on any hard, smooth surface such as the stage, where once put down it stays firmly in place. It is also an excellent surface for a sprung sub-floor and for touring.

Harlequin Studio dance floor at British Troupe Championship finals

The British Troupe Championship Finals held in Wolverhampton opted for Harlequin Studio dance floor. 

Harlequin Studio has established great popularity with dancers thanks to both the dance surface it provides and the ease with which an ordinary stage can be converted into a dance floor. The flooring used at the British Troupe Championships was transported to Wolverhampton in four Harlequin Roll Storage Bags and was laid and ready for use in just twenty minutes. The wooden stage floor on which it was put down was not suited to dance, being both too hard and with a surface that did not offer the right degree of traction. The special surface of Harlequin Studio provided a slip-resistant floor that gave the dancers confidence to concentrate on their performance without the fear of slipping or falling. Harlequin Studio also has a firm lightweight foam backing that provided some cushioning against the hard stage floor beneath. In fact Studio can be laid on any hard, smooth surface and stays firmly in place. It is also an excellent surface for a sprung sub-floor and useful for touring.
