[edit] Historical information.. somewhere?
I'm having trouble finding information on how older sprung-wood floors were constructed. So I'm using weasel words like "mechanically cushioned". I mean, based on the wiki article Cantilever, I can guess the dance floor is a bit like a diving board, but I have nothing to back me up. (Also, I have difficulty imagining a room constructed on the far end of a Cantilever that didn't slant to the side, or sag in the middle. There must more to it than that.)
Meanwhile, I found some sales samples of a product used for modern sprung dance floors.. now I just need to grab my camera and take a picture for this article.

[edit] Terminology
This is giving me a bit of trouble. I'm more from the dance side of things but it should include sports and other floors. I think I'l go back to 'surface' for a layer on top and use 'mat' for where cushionng is included in what is laid down on top of another floor. -Dmcq 10:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
I think I've put in about as much as I want to say but the article really does need some pictures. A header picture showing a dance floor with a dancer or two would be nice plus a couple of vector drawings for different types of construction. 81.110.251.106 13:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Splitting bits to Performance surface
Im going to move some of this article to a new article called Performance surface which would just deal with the traction and appearance parts. This would make the whole business about dance floors whch are just th performance surface rather than the complete thing a bit more straightforward. I'll copy over the stuff first then later come back to delete the duplication from here. Dmcq (talk) 23:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
