No — not unless you want them to look really old, really, really fast. But, there are special dance floors you may buy, especially if you take a look at floormall.com. Professionals use them — they are like a very sturdy linoleum. But, if you only feel the urge occasionally, and can restrain yourself from tapping on your hardwood, thcn perhaps you can utilize an outdoor space with an old piece of linoleum down on it, or the basement. Even so, Rockette on over to that site right away and see what they have. Spring is soon upon us and your floors may be all worn out from the regular dancing that your guests enjoyed during the fantastic New Year’s Eve party you threw for them. Perhaps you’ve sanded and buffed until there’s barely any wood left in your hardwood floors. Ah, but what about laminate flooring, you may sigh. No good for tap dancing either. You’d be bouncing up and down like you were on a trampoline. They don’t call laminate a floating floor for nothing.
Hardwood floors can last a very long time, sometimes a hundred years or more. Careful cleaning and the
occasional sanding and buffing or staining, or both, will keep them fresh for generations. Clean them with a damp mop dipped in warm water and vinegar If you want the antique look, then recycled hardwood is the answer. Of course, holding a tap dance party would do the trick in no time at all. The wood used for hardwood floors can come from most anywhere on the planet. We have to be a little cautious these days so that the rain forests are not denuded, or a species of tree goes extinct because someone wants a one of a kind floor in their mansion. There are certainly varieties of exotic woods, such as zebra wood, that will lend an international air to your room, without denuding the planet of the species. These rarer woods do cost more, but that’s probably to be expected. Check out a few exotic species of wood flooring at floormall.com. They have a lot more substance than a “regular” mall with its corn dogs on a stick, or major appliances in electric blue.
One solution for your tap dancing tendencies, if you don’t have a basement, money for a dance studio, or it rains all the time, is to make yourself a portable section of flooring that you can practice on. Perhaps a company has a scrap left over from a dance floor installation and you can buy it at half price. All you need to do is frame up a couple of sheets of plywood, attach the floor, and voila! You’ll be Ginger Rodgers or Fred Astaire in no time. Play a CD of Singing In The Rain and perhaps Gene Kelly will be your inspiration. Just tap on over to floormall.com (virtually of course) and see what they have. Spring will soon be upon us and it’s time to get those toes a tappin’.
