Honolulu Classical Ballet pays special attention to the safety of our dancers. First and foremost our mission is, “due diligence” when it comes to the health and safety of each of our students.
We promote a “wellness” lifestyle in every class, emphasizing a healthy mind and body balance for optimal results in dance as well as in our students’ daily lives.
We use state of the art materials in the construction of the dance floor for the safety of our dancers. Special attention is focused on injury prevention. Activities such as dance and gymnastics require a special floor to ensure the safety of the body.
We use “sprung flooring,” often times referred to as a “floating floor” in the construction of our dance space. The materials involved are a combination of raised foam blocks strategically placed over a template on the subfloor. Hardwood flooring is then laid over the raised blocks for durability. Lastly, a dance floor vinyl (marley) is laid over the hardwood surface and properly secured. Our provider is American Harlequin Corporation, a leading dance floor manufacturer for professional ballet companies and schools nationwide.
