How Sprung Wood Floors Enhance Dancer Safety and Comfort

Sprung wood floors for dance are built on a foundation of advanced shock absorption and resilience. This specialized construction reduces the impact forces transmitted to dancers’ bodies during jumps and dynamic movements, significantly lowering the risk of injuries such as sprains, joint pain, and stress fractures.
