Pointers Dance Studio<\/a>, a family-run dance and gymnastics school in Wallington,\u00a0recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Charley Nichols, Principal of Pointers Dance Studio & Gymnastics Academy, opened the company she decided to invest in a Harlequin floor after the church hall they rented decided to ban them from tapping directly on the hall floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly three decades Charley continued to use the same trusted rolls of Harlequin Reversible\u2122<\/a><\/strong> vinyl floor from 1996. That Harlequin floor\u00a0was used frequently\u00a0in classes but also for festivals, exams, and lent to friends over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Pointers Dance Studio just celebrating its 30th anniversary, Charley thought it was time to replace the 28-year-old Harlequin vinyl. After observing students who took their exams on the new Harlequin Reversible vinyl floor, Charley said: \u201cThe improved sound quality was immediately noticeable. We plan to look after this one so it can last another 28 years! Our older vinyl has been passed on to a friend who has just taken over a school so we know it has gone to a good second home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the studio has grown into a true family affair, with Charley\u2019s daughter now teaching alongside her and her husband coaching gymnastics \u2013 and often handling the task of laying down the floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since opening its doors in September 1994,\u00a0Pointers Dance Studio has been a hub of creativity and movement, with all classes now taking place at Bandon Hill Primary School.\u00a0Pointers Dance Studio offers a variety of classes including ballet, tap, jazz, and street dancing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
