Come and see the Harlequin dance studio at schools exhibition


British Harlequin plc, world leaders in the development and supply of floors for dance and the performing arts, will be exhibiting at BSEC 2010. 

The Building Schools Exhibition & Conference 2010 will take place at ExCel, London on the 24th and 25th February 2010 where the British Harlequin stand (634) will showcase an example of a dance studio, complete with sprung floor and ballet barrres. The event will provide an opportunity to talk to experts and to view Harlequin’s floors which are widely used in schools, colleges, universities, performing arts centres and dance facilities. 

Harlequin floors, whether portable or permanently installed are durable, hardwearing and easy to maintain. Choosing the correct floor for dance is important for health, safety and artistic performance. Harlequin offer a choice of sprung sub-floors plus a range of dance surfaces, developed to meet the needs and rigours of different forms of dance. Harlequin floors are fully tested in accordance with DIN Standard 18032 Part II. They have become the preferred choice of many professional dancers and are also being endorsed for BSF projects. British Harlequin also offer a RIBA approved core curriculum CPD – ‘Specifying Floors for Dance, Drama and Performance – a Guide for Architects”.
