Making Your Dream Dance Studio a Reality Since 1952

Dance Floors

Dance is a very physical activity that requires a lot of jumping, which can put stress on bones and joints. The shock of dance movement can place a lot of pressure on the knees and back of a dancer and the best way to prevent against potential injury is with a professional “floating” subfloor paired with a marley-type floor covering. A Floating Subfloor will absorb the shock of jumping and a Marley-Type Dance Floor Covering (accepted worldwide as the best surface layer for dance) allows dancers to slide, with a degree of “controlled slip”. Alvas provides both and can help you “Absorb the shock without shocking your bank account”.

Glassless Mirrors

Mirrors are an important part of any dance studio. While many mirrors are made of glass, it is important to be selective in the type of mirrors used in the dance studio. Specially-developed mirrors that are 100% shatter-proof are the best way to protect your students in the event of the mirror suffering a blow. Alvas Glassless Mirrors are lightweight and can be mounted to the wall or made portable with Rolling Frames. They provide a superior, brighter, sharper reflection than plate glass, with no ghost images. They are made of the same super reflective, metalized plastic film material used in the Hubble Space Telescope. Our glassless mirrors are UL Fire Retardant rated for safety, don’t bounce sound around like glass does and won’t shatter, making them much safer than glass.
