Dancers all over the world are using the Harlequin Dance Mat to keep dancing, even during a shelter in place. Read and watch below to see how San Francisco Ballet soloist, Cavan Conley is adjusting his practice during this pandemic.

“Taking class in the kitchen of my small studio apartment is never something I thought I would do. However, since the shelter in place order started, dancers everywhere have taken to their kitchens, balconies, or anywhere there was something to hold onto to continue the daily routine of taking class. When Harlequin Floors Americas provided SF Ballet dancers with marley to make it easier to take class at home, I wondered if there wasn’t a more inspiring way to use it.”
