Dance Studio Accessory and Supply Options
Learn more about the dance floor accessories that Greatmats offers to help you maintain and run your studio more efficiently.
Dance Floor Tape
Among our dance studio supplies, we offer vinyl tape featuring the Rosco and Vario brands. Our selections allow you to match the tape to the type of surface you use. The tape secures the marley floor to the subfloor or covers seams in the rolls.
Professional Dance Floor Cleaner
To keep the marley floor in the best possible condition, we offer high-quality dance floor cleaning products. We have both the Rosco and Vario brands of cleaners. We sell cleaners in sizes up to 1 gallon.
Ballet Barre With Case
Among our ballet studio supplies, we offer PortaBarre kits. These consist of sturdy materials that can support more than one dancer at a time. We have both 4.5- and 9-foot lengths.
Elastic Underlayment
When you want some cushioning underneath a marley floor, our elastic underlayment is extremely thin, so it doesn’t cause a weird feel underfoot for your dancers. It increases step elasticity.
Subfloors
Our subfloor options for dance floors include home dance kits that you can use to set up a practice space almost anywhere in the house. We also have sprung floors that work for a studio installation or as a portable dance installation option.
Portable Dance Floor Cart
Use our portable dance floor cart to move rolls of marley to different locations in your studio. These rolls can be heavy, so the cart simplifies moving and installing them.
Cushioned Mats for Skill Practice
When you want to practice skills that could result in a hard landing, we offer cushioned mats to keep the dancers safe. Our wedge mats and folding mats have a tough vinyl cover and a foam interior.
Dance Studio Accessories Q&A
What kinds of floor tape are there?
The
different kinds of floor tape that you might use in your dance studio include all-around tape, dance floor tape, metallic floor tape, double-sided tape, subfloor tape, and gym floor roll tape.
Why shouldn’t you use duct tape on a dance floor?
You
shouldn’t use duct tape on a dance floor because it’s too sticky for use with the vinyl material. It leaves residue on the vinyl. The non-sticky back of the duct tape can create a rough surface across the top of the vinyl, making it uncomfortable for the dancers.
How do you clean dance studio flooring?
To
clean dance studio flooring, you should sweep it every day to remove dry debris. At least once a week, you should use a cleaner product to wash the floor. Deep clean the flooring at least twice a year.

Greatmats does offer ballet barres for home dance studios, giving students the ability to practice safely and efficiently at home. Students can improve balance, flexibility, and stability with these dance studio accessories and equipment.
What is a sprung floor and what are the alternatives?
What is a sprung floor for dance? It is a specific design of subflooring that absorbs shock and dampens bounce for the dancers, creating a softer feel during movement and landings. It uses large panels. If you prefer a design that offers the cushioned feel of a sprung floor in a different, lightweight material, consider foam tiles or cushioned subfloor kits from Greatmats.
