David Gayle MBE, Founder Director,Yorkshire Ballet Seminars"Over 25 years with Harlequin dance floors..." "The Yorkshire Ballet Seminars had an original Harlequin Reversible floor for 25 years at Ilkley College, but when we moved we thought it was high time for some new floors! So we invested in a roll-out Harlequin Reversible and a heavy-duty Harlequin Cascade. This year we moved again to York St. John College in the historic city of York. Naturally, it was a 'must' that our Harlequin floorings came with us. It is so important for dance schools around the country, whenever possible, to have the correct flooring and I can only recommend Harlequin." |

John McNamara, Principal, Elmhurst Ballet School“Strength, spring and reliability – Harlequin Activity Floor has proved itself time and again” “When we renovated the Elmhurst Studio Theatre much thought went into selecting the most appropriate permanent sprung floor for a new performance space, which was to double as a venue for major public productions and as a dance studio for our many daily classes. Under such intensive use, our Harlequin Activity Floor has proved its qualities of stage worthiness, durability and dancer-friendliness. It has been subjected to the rigours of large-scale dance and musical theatre productions in addition to the routine, heavy use of any busy studio. We are more than pleased with our Harlequin investment and recommend Activity Floor to anyone looking for the strength, spring and reliability of a studio floor for all forms of dancing combined with a stage surface capable of supporting the most ambitious stage constructions”. |

Nic Espinosa, Director, London Studio Centre“Only Harlequin Studio would do for the London Studio Centre’s new floor” Since the London Studio Centre opened in 1978, we have used Harlequin flooring for all our theatre performances and currently have three sets of Harlequin Reversible for the use of our classical ballet, contemporary dance and jazz dance performance companies. As one of the biggest schools in the country with one of the broadest curriculums, the welfare of our students is our highest priority. In this our 21st year of training students, we have dedicated one of our largest studios to the use of our flourishing contemporary dance department. The right choice of permanent dance floor was essential and, as far as we were concerned, that meant only one floor would do: Harlequin Studio. With our contemporary dance graduates currently performing with some of the world’s leading companies, only the best will do. We are confident that our new Harlequin Studio floor will ensure our students’ continued well-being”. |

Michael J. Browne, Chief Executive, ISTD“Harlequin Activity Sprung Floors are so versatile! Just right for all the styles of dance we cover.” ”The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing covers Ballet to Ballroom, Jazz to Jive, Greek to the Gavotte and Tap to Tango. Our floors take quite a beating every day. So when we needed floorings for our new studios it was vital that they felt right to the dancers, but were adaptable enough to cope with almost anything. For our studios we chose Harlequin’s Activity Sprung Floor System, with a Cascade surface. We also use a portable touring floor to take to our Congresses and outside events, and for this we use the roll-out Harlequin Reversible. We are completely confident that whatever the style of dance and whatever the location, the floor is one thing we don‘t have to worry about. Our Harlequin floors are as versatile as the ISTD itself!“ |
