Will Shock Mats/Tiles work for building a small, semi-mobile sprung floor (for Irish Dance and Belly Dance) to meet the following criteria: 1) Protect joints from repetitive, high impact 2) Dance rhythm from fiberglass taps on shoes can be crisp but dampened upon impact 3) Anti-slip but not so strongly that the floor will "grab and trip you" 4) Withstand impact of a fairly sharp sword blade. If not, could a piece of wood be safely affixed to the top of the mat/tiles? Thank you.

We wouldn't recommend dancing on the top of our 3/4" Shock Mats and Tiles. Rubber is very slip-resistant and would cause injuries while the dancers are dancing. Now you could place a Marley type floor over the mats and tiles and dance on that. The rubber flooring would dampen the amount of sound transference between floors. If you used a sharp blade on our flooring, it would, for sure, cut the flooring. If you didn't want that to happen, then you could place a plywood piece in the area where this would occur.
