Help me give my students a safe floor to explore dance and movements. Dancers should not learn on a concrete floor; It is anatomically dangerous.

My Project
Here in Baltimore City, we are integrating dance into the school system. Sadly, most schools are not equipped with the proper spaces for dance. The most important piece, in my opinion, is the floor. Without the proper flooring, it can be harmful to joints (knees and ankles) and limits what we can explore. Without proper cushioned support, the students are missing out on a huge chunk of their dance education: jumps, floor work, floor exercises and routines (which occupies 1/3 of a traditional dance class).
It is unfortunate as they have the talent and interest to do some amazing things.
Please help so the students can work at their potential. Thank you so much!
