Dance Floors

The most critical factor in choosing a floor is how it feels to the people who will use it. Most dancers and managers can determine this from a hand-held sample (call for free samples) which provides a good idea of the qualities of the vinyl surface. How the floor will be used is a critical factor in choosing the right kind of surface. All Rosco floors can be used for ballet modern or jazz dancing but only Adagio and Arabesque are ideal for Tap and Flamenco.
"Dance Floor" and "Cabriole" have been designed for the special needs of touring companies - light weight and tolerance to rerolling.
For permanent installation consider the dimensionally stable "Royal", "Adagio" and "Arabesque".
All these floors are constructed of durable vinyl with a variety of surface treatments to provide skid and wear resistance for your application.

Adagio
Adagio is Rosco's most versatile flooring. It is recommended for tap but its non reflective controlled slip vinyl surface makes it equally successful as a surface for ballet modern and Jazz dance. Adagio is dimensional stable and is very suitable for permanent installation using Rosco Adhesives.

Arabesque
This remarkable floor requires no compromise on quality. It's a good surface for virtually all dance forms, including tap and Irish dancing ­ as well as ballet and modern. Because it's a heavy duty homogenous vinyl, Arabesque is ideal for permanent installations. It is, on a cost-per-square-foot basis, Rosco's most affordable floor, so it's a good choice for such semi-permanent locations as studios in rented quarters. Available in rolls and in cut footage to exactly meet your studio size.
     Arabesque is available in three attractive marbled colors: Black, Grey and Tan. The marbled finish, besides adding a note of elegance, has the practical advantage of helping to hide scuff marks

Subfloor with "Wavelock"
Rosco SubFloor was developed and tested by dancers to insure the perfect combination of resilience (spring or bounce) and stability. It is flexible enough to absorb the energy from a dancer's impact but provides the right amount of resistance for dance movements ranging from ballet to tap, including folk, modern, flamenco and Irish dancing. Most users will be able to install the Rosco SubFloor on their own. The 42" x 42" (3.5 ft. x 3.5 ft.) panels lock into each other with the unique Wave Lock design. Panels weigh only 40 pounds each. Perimeter pieces, 43/8" wide, lock the entire floor together. The perimeter of Rosco SubFloor systems can be bolted to concrete or wood floors and can also be removed and re-used in case of a change in venue. An integral part of the Rosco SubFloor system is the 4.5" diameter closed cell foam pads. These 1" thick pads are affixed at specific locations on the underside of each SubFloor panel. This, combined with the Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) construction of the panels, utilizing our patented Wave Lock technology, yields superb resilience and dimensional stability.
