Tap Dance Floors

Your Floor Shapes Your Sound

Tap is different from nearly every other style of dance. Your floor isn’t simply something you dance on, it plays a part in the sound you create.

O’Mara sprung tap floors are built to give your taps a clear, natural sound while providing the support and shock absorption needed beneath your feet. Whether you’re outfitting a full studio or creating a place to practice at home, our goal is to provide a floor that lets you hear your dancing clearly and keeps your body supported while you do it.

Built With Tap Dancers, For Tap Dancers

For more than 30 years, O’Mara Sprung Floors has worked alongside professional tap dancers to refine the way our tap floors sound, respond, and perform.

Our maple sprung floor system is designed and engineered to give tap dancers the crisp sound they’re looking for without sacrificing support underfoot. Unlike vinyl or rubber surfaces that can soften or dull percussion, our hardwood allows the individual sounds of your taps to come through clearly.

What Matters in a Tap Floor

The right combination of wood, construction, and support makes all the difference in how a tap floor sounds and performs.

Clear, Resonant Sound

A hardwood surface allows the individual tones of your taps to come through clearly, from quieter details to stronger percussion.

Support Underfoot

Built with our sprung construction underneath, the floor helps absorb impact while maintaining the firm, responsive surface tap dancers need for precise footwork and clear sound.

Tap Dance Floor Durability

Built for Years of Dancing

Tap is demanding on a floor. Our systems are made for it, with durable materials designed to hold up through years of classes, rehearsals, and performances.

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.

Find The Right Floor For You

Finished Golden Ash Sprung Floor

Ash is a beautiful choice for ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop and other soft shoe styles. The distinctive grain pattern gives every floor natural variation and character, while the durable wood surface provides a smooth, reliable dance surface.

Finished Golden Maple Sprung Floor

Our first choice for tap, Irish dance, and other percussive styles. Maple is a hard, durable wood with a clear sound and consistent grain pattern. Finished with our slip-resistant ceramic urethane, it works as both the sprung subfloor and finished dance surface all in one.

Sprung Wood Subfloor with Dance Vinyl

For studios that prefer a traditional dance-vinyl surface, our unfinished birch sprung subfloor provides the shock absorption underneath while allowing you to install the vinyl of your choice above it. This option is generally best suited to non-percussive dance styles than dedicated tap spaces.

Built for the Demands of Tap

A tap floor gets rehearsed on, taught on, practiced on, and danced across thousands of times. That’s exactly what our floors are made for.

O’Mara tap floors are built as complete sprung systems, designed to sound clear, feel supportive underfoot, and stand up to years of dancing.

We build them here in Michigan, and if you need assistance choosing which floor if right for your space, you can talk directly with our team. We will help you figure out the best solution.
