A floating wood subfloor must support the main dance floor while providing enough absorption to protect the dancer’s body from impact. Subfloors from Stagestep provide a safe, shock-absorbent environment for various movement activities. Springstep II is a cost-saving, do-it-yourself floating subfloor option from Stagestep.

Is Springstep II Right for You?
Consider these factors when deciding if Springstep II is right for your dance studio.
Sound Amplification
Certain dance styles require a dance subfloor that does not muffle sounds. Tap dancing, for example, makes noise with time steps and wing movements. SpringStep II will amplify the room’s sound levels so dancers can hear the sounds essential to their dance style.
Resiliency
A resilient subfloor deflects energy from active movements and returns it to the dancer in a springing motion, helping them jump and leap. SpringStep II has excellent resiliency ratings among the dance subfloors at Stagestep.
Dance Styles
Stagestep recommends the SpringStep II dance subfloor for a variety of dance styles:
- Modern
- Hip-hop
- Ethnic
- Character
- Multipurpose dance
- Tap
