The O’Mara Family Story

Driven by unwavering faith, Ed and Mary O’Mara built a workshop in their back yard. This is where Ed invented the cable assembly system which gives our sprung floors a uniform resiliency and allows for simple installation. Mary created our first website on a Gateway computer with dial up internet in the attic of our small family home. As soon as the O’Mara children could count and write, they were helping in both the shop and office too.

Ed and Mary sold their first sprung floor to the Flint Cultural Center in 1996. For years semi truck drivers backed up our dead-end dirt road and down the long driveway, picking up crates of sprung floors to ship around the world. In 2003 we moved our growing operation into an industrial building in Flint, Michigan.

The meticulous attention to detail was evident from the moment our floor arrived. After her very first class, Rita said, "The floor made all the difference in the world" was her quote.

The floor is magnificent. I love dancing on it. It is beautiful to look at and feels great on my feet, knees, back. A real game-changer. Every aspect of working with O’Mara was on-time and excellent: planning, measuring, ordering, receiving the order, instructions for installation, packaging, labeling. My installer couldn’t believe how organized and well-thought out the directions and the packing were.

Thanks so much for your excellent customer service, everything went like clockwork! The delivery, packaging, and timing were exceptional! The quality and precision of your products is outstanding, not to mention the fact you include all of the tools needed to install the floor. As a contractor it was difficult to believe that we did not have to make a single cut, everything was numbered and the diagram was spot on, thanks again.

I LOVE my O'Mara Maple portable practice panel. It sounds absolutely fantastic and my joints/feet never hurt after using it (like they do when I take class at the studio)! It is a superb dance floor!!

I would highly recommend the O’Mara Sprung floor system to anyone. The floor is studio quality, easy to maintain, and beautiful to look at, even after hours of tap dancing.

We are happy with the floor. The shipping was secure and done well. So everything is good. The floor is expensive but you can tell it is higher quality. I am actually using the floor in a 4 by 8 pattern right now since the 8 by 8 was slightly big for my space right now but at least I can expand it when ready. So I love the fact that you can change the size of the floor. Keep up the good work!!

It is perfect for tap dancing. It is well made and high quality. I have practiced or taken lessons in four different studios and until I practiced on this floor I could never really hear the steps clearly and how I was doing them. The sound and clarity of the floor is wonderful for tap dance. You can really “hear” if you are doing the steps right or not.

I’ve been meaning to email and thank you for all of your assistance and support with setting up our floor. We are very happy with it and the dancers like it as well.
