This 10,000-square-foot facility features nine distinct dance spaces, each purpose-built to support a wide range of dance styles, training levels, and instructional needs.

How to Install Marley Vinyl Dance Floors: A Step-by-Step Guide by Connor® Dance
In the world of performance flooring, every step matters—literally. Whether it’s a rehearsal, a performance, or an intense class, dancers rely on precision, resilience, and comfort underfoot. At Connor® Dance, we bring that performance to life with our Marley Vinyl surface—meticulously engineered and expertly installed to support every move.
When it comes to choosing a surface for your dance studio or event stage, the terms "Marley" and "vinyl" often come up interchangeably—but they’re not exactly the same. Understanding the difference is key to selecting the right flooring system for your dance style, performance needs, and long-term studio goals.
Whether you're opening a new dance studio, upgrading your current space, or hosting a major performance, one question always comes up: What kind of floor do dancers need? The answer is clear—if you're serious about dancer health, performance, and longevity, a sprung dance floor is a must.
When it comes to dance, the floor beneath your feet matters just as much as the steps above it. Whether you’re outfitting a professional dance studio or planning a high-energy performance event, choosing the best dance floor for studio use or selecting from dance floor options for events can significantly impact dancer performance, safety, and long-term injury prevention.
