Stage Floors
Harlequin Liberty® Switch is a professional multi-use floor system which transforms between a rigid theatrical floor and a sprung performance floor at the touch of a button. It is designed for venues who regularly put on both dance and theatrical performances and require both a sprung and a rigid floor in the same performance or rehearsal space.
Harlequin Liberty Switch enables a Harlequin Liberty LatchLoc sprung floor to be transformed to a rigid (unsprung) floor quickly and easily. This is achieved by using moving carriages which engage with stop blocks on the underside of the Liberty panels to create a rigid floor and disengage to create a sprung floor.

Harlequin ConfiDance® is a specially formulated liquid rosin, which provides surface traction to any hard surface: wood, tile, linoleum and of course specialty vinyl. Although Harlequin's performance floors have a slip resistant surface, many studios and stages have wood or tile surfaces, which require more slip-resistance.
