• Q: Is it good for pointe shoes

  A: We'd recommend using a hard plastic tile subfloor for use with pointe shoes since the foam tiles can provide a bit of 'squish' which may not be desirable for pointe ballet.

• Q: can the tiles be arranged to fit any space or do they have to be linked to create the area shown in the images?

  A: The subfloor tiles are 2' x 2' interlocking foam, so you can lay them out in any shape that works in 2' increments. They don’t have to match the layout in the kit photos. Each kit is sized around the ProStep rolls, which are 63" wide and come in a set cut length per kit. Because of that, combining kits or laying them out differently won’t give you the right coverage. If you need a size or shape that none of the kits match, it’s best to build your own floor: Subfloor: Order the 3/8" Home Dance Subfloor Tiles or the 3/4" Home Dance Subfloor Tiles to fit your space. Marley: Add ProStep Dance Floor Rolls in custom lengths. They’re easy to trim to size with a utility knife and a fresh blade. Tape: Finish the seams with Dance Floor Tape. Each product page has installation instructions.
