Springstep IV Plus Subfloor – The Best Foundation for Dance

A great dance floor starts from the ground up. Springstep IV Plus dance subfloor is a professional-grade floating subfloor designed to reduce impact on your body while providing the support you need to dance your best. Whether you’re setting up a dance studio, home practice space, or performance venue, Springstep IV Plus creates a safer, more comfortable surface that enhances every move.

Why You Need a Subfloor for Your Dance Studio

Not all floors are created equal—dancing on hard surfaces like concrete or wood can lead to fatigue, joint pain, and even injury. A quality dance subfloor absorbs shock, provides the right level of bounce, and extends the lifespan of your dance floor. Springstep IV Plus does all of this and more!

Easy Installation & Setup

Foam underlayment can be repositioned on the cut panel, which are necessary for staggering panels, creating a stable yet forgiving dance surface.

How Springstep IV Plus Works

Springstep IV is built with a multi-layer system designed to give dancers the right combination of support and flexibility:

High-Resin Wood Panels – Strong, durable, and designed to stay in place.
Shock-Absorbing Foam Underlayment – Softens landings, reduces fatigue, and adds just the right amount of resilience.
Floating Design – The subfloor sits above the existing surface, preventing the hard ground from absorbing energy and impacting movement.

The result? A professional-grade dance surface that lets you move freely and safely, whether you’re rehearsing or performing.
