Sprung floors SPECTAT

The Spectat sprung floor on tennis ball brings to choreographic practice the very best in terms of dancer safety and dance practicability. The floor's suppleness means that jumps and landings can be performed with great fluidity and lightness. The specificity of this floor, with the elasticity provided by tennis balls, prevents vertebral compression and preserves joints, making it the best choice for dance practice.

After the installation of the floor in the rehearsal studio, I noticed that the phenomenon of periostitis, which was very frequent among our dancers, had almost disappeared. The cushioning has allowed us to reduce a good number of joint fatigue problems (ankles, knees, hips) and consequently fewer vertebral blockages. I have also noticed a decrease in muscular pathologies with few brutal accidents such as tears and a drop in muscular contractures.

Our SALTI floor can be set up at an impressive speed; it takes us less than an hour and a half to equip the 252 m2 stage, less time than it takes to install the carpet. From a qualitative point of view, the invited companies are unanimous on the qualities of comfort and dynamics of the floor.

At the level of break dance, I immediately liked it, especially the support on the wrists, we have less contraction than on a normal floor, on the action of departure in break there is a better impulse for the legs and the back, also in acrobatics we have less compression, so it makes the search easier because we can last longer.

Since the change of floors in Franklin Hall, accidents related to the dancer's daily exercise have decreased considerably. Flexibility, especially during jumps and landings, gives better cushioning; musculo-tendinous injuries are less numerous, stress fractures and overuse syndromes have decreased

The floor is light, easy to install, beautiful and comfortable. In the tour, everyone is involved in the installation, from the control room to the lights, and in one hour, 180m2 of dance floor are installed. The rehearsals can begin. The star dancers are delighted with the quality of the floor.

On all the repulsive work we gain elasticity in the tendons, in the joints too, the calves tighten up much less quickly, they become less hard. We have more muscular relaxation and therefore more mobility and resistance over a long period of repetition, so artistically we can push further and finer too.

The "Attivita" parquet floor is beautiful, I dance in this room from Monday to Friday, the school is delighted with the rendering, and their architects are also relieved to see that we were able to respect the limit of thickness following their fastidious constraints.

We called on SPECTAT professional flooring in 2014. We are very satisfied. The cushioning quality is excellent. We're still in business and have even been able to dismantle and reassemble the floor without the slightest hitch. We offer Classical dance, Jazz dance, Zumba and Hip Hop classes.

As for the users (whose activities are extremely varied in these halls), they all recognize the quality of the floors whatever the activity practiced (Classical dance, Ballroom dance, West Coast Swing, SBK, Modern'jazz, Hip-hop, Boxing, Dance Hall, Country, Zumba, Yoga, Callanetics, Shiatsu). I have not heard a single criticism in the last 10 years and it must be recognized that the quality of the rooms in general and the quality of the floor in particular is a factor of choice for the exercise of an activity. Concerning the teachers, especially those who take many hours of classes in a row, they regularly tell me that at the end of their classes, they don't have any joint pain compared to the dance surfaces they practice elsewhere.

We are very satisfied with the work carried out by SPECTAT on all our sites in the city of Aix-en-Provence: on-time delivery, meticulous work. Worksites Salle de danse N° 2 & 3 Gymnase Forbin compagnie grenade ; Val de l'ARC sports hall.

During the tour of the Clavigo Ballet in Lebanon in July 2001, I was able to test the Salto floor. It has very satisfactory qualities of comfort for dancing: it is flexible, and almost soundproof for pointe shoes. I believe it can be adapted to all ballet styles.

Excellent, it's like a soft mattress without being soft, the style of the Montalvo-Hervieu Company - National Choreographic Center of Créteil and the Val de Marne - imposes a complex footwork in the floor repulses which often hurt the ankles then on the duration, it's great a floor like that.

This tool allows the dancer to have a very good relationship with the floor, which is essential for his or her support, allowing him or her to propel and land. This floor offers the possibility of experimenting with different qualities of movement conducive to choreographic creation.

The floor of our Bournonville studio is equipped since 2006 with a new floor "Saltis" based on new techniques. Since then we have noticed a clear decrease in traumas and tendinitis. This new method seems to be in adequacy with the work that the dancers produce.

Salti/Saltis/Salto floors are simply the best floors imaginable for dancers. Not only is there spring, but more importantly, there is cushioning. Since Capitol Ballet acquired these floors, the percentage of injuries has been greatly reduced. The refinement of its design allows it to be installed on stage or in a studio in about 1.5 hours. Since its acquisition, we use these floors every time we play at the Capitol Theater, at the Halle aux Grains, as well as at our 2 studios in Montaudran. Every time I teach the Balachine repertoire in Europe, I talk about these floors!

Pôle des arts du cirque et de la rue located in Marchin, we had the pleasure of working with the company SPECTAT to equip our Cirque, a new venue dedicated to creation and dissemination that is coming into being in the Belgian village of Marchin. Throughout this collaboration, we've been pleased to find a real listening ear, flexibility, a concern for doing things right and great professionalism. We were looking for a floor suitable for acrobatic practice, and this SPECTAT dance floor is perfectly suited to this discipline, and is a delight for our artists in residence.

Le Ballet du Capitole has been dancing on Spectat floors for over 20 years. The dancers are very happy with it. We have far fewer injuries. Technically, we haven't had any problems in that time. We use these floors both permanently in our studios and on the various stages with the removable model. All theaters that host dance events should be able to offer a suitable floor.

The SALTIS floor is characterized by an exceptional dynamic, both from the point of view of the impulse and of the damping, thanks to its viscoelastic blocks. Made of wood, it is an economical answer to the problem of fixed equipment in dance studios. This tool allows the dancer to have a very good relationship with the ground, which is essential for his support, allowing him to propel himself and to land. Its material offers the possibility of experimenting with different qualities of movement conducive to choreographic creation.
