Springstep V Subfloor FAQs

What is SpringStep V designed for?

SpringStep V is made for dancers who perform on the move. Its portable sprung structure lets you create a professional foundation anywhere, from theaters and festivals to temporary stages. Touring companies rely on it because the panels stay stable, supportive and consistent no matter where they travel.

How is SpringStep V different from SpringStep IV?

SpringStep V is the portable version of Stagestep’s professional sprung subfloor, built for dancers who need a system they can take on the road. Its lightweight Baltic birch panels and integrated foam are designed for repeated setup, breakdown and transport, making it ideal for touring companies, festivals and temporary stages.

SpringStep IV, on the other hand, is a permanent studio solution. It uses interlocking tongue and groove panels with a shock absorbing foam base to create a long term, stable sprung surface for daily training. While both protect dancers and work with Marley floors, SpringStep IV stays fixed in place, and SpringStep V is engineered specifically for mobility, fast assembly and durability during travel.

Can SpringStep V be used with Marley floors?

Yes, you can easily pair it with Stagestep Marley surfaces to create a complete portable dance environment. We highly recommend it too! The subfloor provides the bounce and cushioning, while the Marley layer adds the correct traction for specific styles.

If you need surface options, you can browse compatible Marley dance floors.

Does SpringStep V offer enough shock absorption for daily use?

Yes. The integrated foam underlayment cushions landings and supports the body during long rehearsals or performance runs. Dancers feel the difference in reduced joint stress and sustained comfort, even after hours of jumping and directional changes.

How easy is it to transport and assemble SpringStep V?

The lightweight Baltic birch panels lock together quickly, making setup simple even when time is tight. Everything packs neatly into custom transporters, so your team can break down, move and reinstall the system without stress.

If you want more insight into creating portable setups, this guide on portable dance flooring offers helpful perspective.

Is SpringStep V good for percussive styles?

Absolutely. It is engineered to enhance the sound of tap, flamenco and similar styles, giving each strike clarity and resonance. The floating design provides a lively, responsive base that helps dancers hear and feel every rhythm with precision.
