Hosted by Meg Ryan, the episode highlights the critical role of performance flooring and showcases Harlequin\u2019s industry-leading expertise in creating safe, high-quality surfaces for dancers, performers, and production professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-23441af8 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 1rem 0;\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VjuUDlM2Pjg?si=Ray0XDQRF7gH6Lzd&amp;controls=0&enablejsapi=1\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance flooring is an essential element of any creative space, providing the durability, shock absorption, and slip resistance needed to support artists in their craft. This collaboration between <em>Empowered<\/em> and Harlequin Floors gives viewers an in-depth look at how different flooring solutions enhance performance, safety, and artistic expression across various disciplines \u2013 including dance, theater, live events, and film production.<br><br>\u201cAs an organization that works closely with artists, we know how important it is to have the right tools for success,\u201d said Valerie Maliga, Senior VP of <em>Empowered<\/em>. \u201cHarlequin Flooring exceeds all of our expectations, and we\u2019re excited to share their expertise with a wider audience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the episode, audiences will hear from key members of the Harlequin Floors team as they share insights on choosing the right flooring for various performance environments. Viewers will also learn about renowned arts organizations that trust Harlequin and hear firsthand testimonials from some of the artists and professionals who perform on Harlequin Floors. In one interview, Angel Corella, Artistic Director for Philadelphia Ballet, shared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I started dancing with American Ballet Theatre, and I experienced dancing on Harlequin Floors, all of a sudden, it was like I was floating in the air. The floor made a huge impact. It made me improve in a short period of time really greatly. So, Harlequin Floors, they\u2019re the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corella\u2019s experience speaks to a truth Harlequin Floors has championed for decades: performance flooring matters. With this episode of <em>Empowered<\/em> now circulating on national public television, Harlequin is excited to bring its story of innovation and support for the arts to a broader audience.\u201cHarlequin is proud to be featured on <em>Empowered<\/em>,\u201d said Chrissy Ott Richter, Marketing Communications Director of Harlequin Floors Americas. \u201cThis opportunity highlights our ongoing commitment to providing flooring solutions that support artists around the world, helping them perform at their best. Our floors are designed with performers in mind, and we\u2019re thrilled to showcase our contributions to the arts community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons
