Janet Karin
OAM, a leading dance educator and former lead dancer with the Australian
Ballet, recently had the opportunity to see the expertise and skill involved in
installing a new Harlequin dance floor
at first hand. Janet explained, “Of course, I knew that Harlequin's floors were
top of the range, but I had no idea of the expertise that went into tailoring
each individual floor. A studio floor may be based on technology, but the
installation process revealed something closer to art.”
The full
story of the installation of Harlequin sprung floors is described by Janet on
the Harlequin blog.
Janet
concludes, “My students unreservedly love this floor. The company dancers feel
able to trust their Harlequin floor in the extremely taxing choreography of the
present repertoire. Judging by the way Trinity Laban’s Harlequin Liberty
floor in London is unscathed after 12 years of constant use, we can expect to
enjoy ours for many decades.”
