With Strictly Come Dancing on our screens, dance inspiration is hitting the nation and your child might be the next big thing! Is your little one the next undiscovered talent? Do they need space to practice? Well don’t panic about studio fees or room hire because you can build your own dance studio in the comfort of your home!

Having a convenient place for the kids to practice what they learn in class makes it easier to perfect their steps and improve. Based on the amount of space you have, budget and flooring, converting one of the rooms at home can be easily done with not much hassle. To give you the freedom to dance whenever you want, here are a few simple steps on how you can transform a room in your home into your own dance studio.

Choose your Space

Decide on the best location/space in your home to have your dance studio be it your house, garage or attic. Consider a place where the noise won't be a problem and determine how much space you need for practicing your style of dance.

Lay Down your Floors

Wood flooring is crucial for any room you decide to convert into a dance studio or room. The KAHRS Activity range would be a good one to go for as they have sprung flooring properties which reduce shock loading to knees and ankles. The patented, energy-absorbing construction also makes it very simple to create a high quality floor surface. These floors are also very easy to install and maintain.
