After dancing in quarantine on concrete, we finally sprung the floors in our bomb shelter ballet studio using plywood and pool noodles! This video details the steps we took and will hopefully answer any questions. Thank you for watching! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

What an awesome video!!! You're a very lucky girl, Lucy, to have such devoted parents!! Their support is phenomenal!!!
This was so cool to see, super creative and thought out!!!!!! Well done xx
what a cute idea for a youtube video!
What a great idea..
Thank you!
❤❤❤
Hi Lucy, Thank you for the video. I am planning to do the same next week. Just one quick question how many construction glue do you need for glue pool noodles onto each piece of plywood? Thank you!
so sorry for the late reply!! i used quite a bit- at least 7 or 8. hope this helps!
This looks wonderful! (1) Where did you purchase the marley for the best deal? (2) Did you use 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch plywood? Thanks!
Hi, thank you! The Marley flooring is from stagestep. We used 1/2 inch plywood on the bottom and 3/4 inch on the top! Let me know if you have anymore questions
How do you handle the door way/ not dance floor area? Do you step up or did you create a ramp?
That looks awesome 👌. In that floor are you able to dance on pointe?
Eliane Itzel Pineiro Ramiez yes!!
Do you need to attach the Marley to the plywood at all or did you just lay it down? Thanks!
Do you suggest adding noodle pieces if I’m going to lay it on carpet? Is Marley slip resistance, I dance bare foot(Bharatanatyam) so I don’t want it to be completely slip resistant. Will rubber sheets(like playmat) work ?
Hi! The Marley is slip resistant, but I have to dance barefoot on it for contemporary and it's not too bad! The pool noodle pieces are to help provide support if you're jumping- if you don't find yourself jumping much, I would just but Marley and lay it on the carper rather than going through the process of building the entire floor!
Hi, Can you tell me how high the floor is once finished please? Do you think it gives enough bounce for someone who does a lot of cardio aerobics?
Thank you
you can cut the noodle thickness minimum 35mm
You posted this in May, how has the floor been doing/feeling? I'm thinking about building a pool noodle floor
Hi! Sorry for the late response, but the floor has held up nicely! I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're planning on dancing from home in 2021.
I’m wanting to do this for my daughter’s dance, but also for my son with Basketball. Do you think this floor would affect the ball bounce very much?
Do you have any idea if I could stop at the wood finish or a substitute for Marley ?
yes!!! shower pan liner actually works perfectly. you can get it at home depot or lowe’s!
@@lucyasheppard Thanks Lucy!
hi! what size plywood did u use? (how long / wide?)
Would this be good for all forms of dance? I'm a belly dancer and thought I would ask y'all how it felt to dance on it.
Yes! I'm a ballet dancer and the floor's ultimate purpose is to prevent shin splints and other injuries while jumping. If you find yourself jumping a lot while you're dancing, definitely look into a sprung floor!
do you know how much everything costed in total? just for reference
Everything together is a bit pricey, especially the Marley, but I've had this flooring for a few years so we only paid for the plywood and pool noodles when we did this in the spring. I don't think the cost was too bad, but my parents paid for everything so I don't know exact numbers!
Hi,this is great! What kind of plywood did you use?
we used tongue and groove plywood for the second layer and then just regular for the first :) you can get it at your local Home Depot!
@@lucyasheppard thank you!
do you think this would be good for someone trying to practice the tchaikovsky pdd variation
trying to get into nycb for reference
@@indianacote yes!!!! i think building this floor is a great way to climb the ranks of new york city ballet 🩰
@@lucyasheppardgreat hopefully they need a new principal and handyman thank you for responding
Do you think the pool noodles are supportive enough and allow for sufficient sprung? I thought about using some of these foam mats for playgrounds and then place the noodles with plywood on top of it? How do you feel dancing on it?
I felt that it was very supportive! It's a small studio and I am the only person using the space, so I might recommend something different for a larger studio with more people. As for the foam mats, I was told that too sprung can be just has harmful than not sprung at all, so I just used the noodles!
How much it costs?
What if water spills on it, isn't it gonna get to the wood ? OoO ?
If a little bit gets on the Marley, it should be fine! I haven't had any problems with it but I also haven't spilled a large amount of water on the floor hahah
what are you guys trying to accomplish by doing a fast forward...
