This portable raised 24 x 32 in dance boards are normally used for clogging, flat-footing, or buck dancing. I spent a lot of time building and trying different designs and found this design to be the overall winner so far. You can pay three times as much for a board and not find half of these features that include:

Different Grades:

Exterior: This board comes with high grade five layer plywood that is designed for exterior use. If it gets rained on, it generally hold ups pretty good. Much better than the Interior grades. The sound quality is as good, or maybe even better than the Interior grade, and its lighter weight. Most of the dance boards we sell are of this type and we ship this by default. Only down fall it does not look as good as Interior and may have patches to make the board completely smooth.

Interior: This board comes with high grade five layer plywood that is defect and knot free surface. It looks better than the Exterior grades, but it will separate and fall apart if it gets wet or exposed to a lot of dew. Should generally be used indoors or only in dry conditions. If you want this option please add $10 to your order. The check out process will not give you this option and you must contact us and we will provide you instructions for making the final payment.

Raised Height – you want a dance board raised off the ground a little bit for several reasons. One reason is to give the board a little more of the deeper base sound that makes you sound good. Another reason is to keep the board dry if you dance outside on in a grassy area like many people do when they go to fiddle conventions or festivals. You don’t want the back side of your board getting muddy or wet as it will warp and make the board sound dull.

Handle – Fully integrated handle does not protrude in a way which will dent or scuff your other items you might be carrying in your car.

Modular – This board is designed to work with others just like it. This means each one of your friends can buy a board like this and when you come together you can put them all together to make a much larger dance surface. See Bulk Order information and pricing below.

Upgradeable / Repairable – This board is constructed with high grade rust free epoxy coated screws. Many boards are glued together which has some advantages but can be a disaster if the board gets wet or needs to be repaired. This system allows the board to have any part replaced or repaired without damaging the other parts. Another big advantage of this system is if you wear the board out you can flip it over and use the other side. This system also makes it much cheaper to upgrade to the Interconnect option. (see below)

Interconnect Option– These boards can be connected together by several different methods. One way is wrapping a luggage strap around the outside. More sophisticated methods range from a bungee cord option to using my magnetic interconnect system. Interconnect option allows the boards to be assembled into large area in minutes to almost any shape such as squares, rectangles, L-shapes, almost anything you can imagine. Interconnect option is usually done for lots of 6 more but can be done for as little as two boards. The Interconnect option is available offline only. Call for more information. (678-200-0862)

Soft Step Center – Some boards are built very ridged. This board has a soft center that gives you a little bounce to your step. This keeps you dancing longer and is easier on the feet, ankles, and knees. I have tested this with a 250 lb professional clogger and he did some massive stomps without any damage. I weigh about 200lbs and done lots of massive stomping and never had one break.

Light Weight – For it’s size this board weights much less than other boards. This makes it easier to carry around to your favorite band at the far end of the field.

Sound Hole – This board comes with extra large sound release hole that let some of the natural resonating sound out. This make the board more of an instrument making the sounds you make more apart of the overall sound of the band you are dancing too.

Non-Surface Finish – Most dance boards come with some kind of surface finish and they charge you big bucks. I found it’s best not to have any kind of finish on a dance board because the natural drag coefficient of unfinished wood provides the best all around performance. Dancers that use a lot of stepping motions need a board less slick, dancers who use a lot of buck step need a board that is more slick. The use of corn meal is highly recommended as this lets you ‘tune’ your board to the perfect amount of slip. Corn meal allows the board to be adjusted perfect to the dancer.

Bulk Orders – These boards can be order in bulk for considerable price savings to make a large dance floor almost anywhere that is flat. I have an interconnect option that cost a little more but is highly convenient for putting together a dance floor quickly. Some dance communities each member purchases a board and brings it with them to the dance to make up the dance floor. Bulk orders normally run in lots of six with prices starting as low $120 including delivery. Prices go up from there depending on shipping location and how fast you need them.

DVDs – I also have a number of instructional DVDs from various Flat-footers / Buck Dancers. If you are new ‘Fireside Flat-footing’ should be your first DVD. If you do not see the links click on the ‘curtisriver’ store icon at the top of this page.

PAYMENT METHOD:
