Why is Sprung Flooring important to you?
Sprung flooring is important to us because it ensures a safe and healthy way for us to create our viral social media videos wherever we go! Especially because they are portable!! As Irish dancers, we really do ‘hit the floor’ hard and so our legs need proper shock absorption from the impact on the hard ground. Sprung flooring prevents injuries for us and prolongs our dance careers on and off the stage!
Why do you love O'Mara Sprung Floors?
We love O’Mara Sprung Floors because they are beautifully made in terms of structure and aesthetics. We need the floors to be robust but bouncy and because we use them for social media purposes, we need the floors to be aesthetically pleasing but also grippy enough for us to dance on…which they are!
