Cutting the Rug

I am a good singer and often get applause at karaoke events when I belt out 1 of our beloved 1960s hits, and unluckyly, our talents do not extend to our legs, so I watch in envy seasoned films with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire and videos of the more modern Savion Glover perform his tap-dancing magic. Dancing is much more dangerous than singing simply because you can lose your footing and take an embarrassing tumble and sprain an ankle. The last thing a dance studio needs is for someone enjoy me, with “two left feet”, to fall on a slippery floor. That is why it is so crucial that the indoor air quality at professional dance studios be kept at a temperature and humidity so that no condensate can form to make the floor slippery. There are no regulations that dictate what conditions a dance studio needs to be but keeping the room between 65°F and 69°F is accepted as the optimal range. The warmer temperatures will boost the dancer’s core temperature and is better for preventing joint injure and muscle strains. The more than one Heating plus Air Conditioning options for dance studios are the traditional forced-air method or a mini-split, both official types of Heating plus Air Conditioning units. The annual repair costs are about the same, but budget-minded dance studio owners will care about the mini-split method due to its lower replacement cost. The other crucial luck of a mini-split Heating plus Air Conditioning method is that it can be installed with a heat pump. Dance studios get tied up for the holidays and the giant spacious rooms can be difficult to warm in the winter. The heat pump will reduce the need for space furnaces that dancers enjoy myself and others are prone to stumble over while attempting a daring Argentine Tango move.
