What Is the Best Stage Flooring?

Whether you’re looking for temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent flooring for your stage, we have several excellent products to consider.

Theatrical No Glare Floor Full Bolt

The Theatrical No Glare Floor Full Bolt is a durable marley vinyl floor suitable for stages and black box spaces. This no-glare theatre stage flooring can be used for nearly all dance types with hard or soft shoes. The stage marley is ideal for situations where you’re using extremely bright flooring during a play or musical, and it can be rolled up and stored away after the performance.

The vinyl flooring roll is a versatile covering for sage floors. It’s backed by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty and is available in custom-cut lengths.



Dance and Stage Pro Full Roll

The Dance and Stage Pro Full Roll is a quality marley flooring with backing. It’s ideal for soft shoe dance types and features a smooth surface. The floor’s durability makes it ideal for temporary and permanent installation, and it's strong enough to withstand the weight of theater sets and camera dollies.

This flooring can be taped or glued down depending on your needs, and it creates a seamless dance floor when it’s glued down and heat-welded. Since each roll is 60 feet long, it makes for minimal seams even when covering a larger stage.

It’s available in black or gray and delivers the slip resistance that dancers need for an optimal performance. Use it for ballet, flamenco, jazz, and more.

Marley flooring can be installed permanently or temporarily. It can be rolled up and stored when not in use. This marley flooring is backed by a five-year warranty, and it’s available in multiple widths so you can choose the option that’s right for your performance space.

Ideal for touring dancers, the Rosco Adagio Touring Portable Floor Full Roll allows you to take a professional-quality dance floor with you. It’s suitable for tap, clogging, and more, and ensures you can cover up poor-quality floors to maximize your performance. The non-glare surface is smooth and flat, and the flooring can be rolled up and transported.

A tape-down installation is most popular and makes the flooring easy to remove. You can also cut the flooring to fit specific dimensions as needed. Bringing your own dance floor with you can offer dancers peace of mind, plus it plays an important role in dancer safety and the quality of the performance that you can put on.
