“When the team at Harlequin reached out to tell me that instead of sprung dance flooring, sports floors were being installed in the new SHSU Gaertner Performing Arts Center, I was not happy. Our dancers are athletic, but they do not wear cushioned basketball shoes! I immediately contacted the construction team to tell them it was imperative that they put in proper dance floors. Our Harlequin Activity™ and Harlequin Liberty™ sprung dance floors have contributed substantially to the first class character of our department.”
