My Project

Our dance team has been dancing on tile floors. Some of the tiles are broken and move while we are dancing. It is very hard to do dance turns, jumps, and learn proper technique on a tile floor. The dancers desperately need a marley dance floor so they can move better and the performances can look more professional. Marley floors are a type of performance surface, which are built for dance. These surfaces are often multi-layered and include a sprung floor which prevents injuries. Help the dancers get a professional dance floor!
