Sprung Flooring
Freehold Academy of Performing Arts features “Authentic FAPA Sprung Floors®”.
From the instant you begin dancing on our “Authentic FAPA Sprung Floors®” you will notice the difference. As a performer, you should not have to restrain or hold back to prevent injury. “Authentic FAPA Sprung Floors®” are designed to protect performers from the strain associated with performing on an unyielding flooring surface such as concrete, tile and wooden floor joists. Our floors are designed with the best materials and workmanship and are recommended for all types of dance.
The “give” of “Authentic FAPA Sprung Floors®” is consistent throughout the entire floor. Safety comes directly from the shock absorption provided by the closed cell foam blocks that directs the forces associated with a dancers movement away from the body.
Why is this important?
The impact force with which the foot strikes the floor will rebound off the surface and vibrate up through the body as an energy shockwave. This shockwave affects muscles, tendons and leads to joint trauma at the ankle, knee, hip and lower back. Performing on a non-sprung floor can result in shin splints, sprains or worse.
You may find a lot of studios skip this important step as this flooring is very expensive. Before you register for classes at any Performing Arts center, be sure to ask if they have sprung flooring.
Freehold Academy of Performing Arts utilizes professionally installed “Authentic FAPA Sprung Floors® in all six of our studio rooms and YOU SHOULD INSIST ON IT!!
