History

Established in 1979.

Harlequin Floors’ experience and reputation are founded on the manufacture and supply of floors which are preferred by dancers and performers at the world’s leading venues, which include the Royal Opera House, the Bolshoi Theatre, Paris Opera Ballet, Houston Ballet, Beijing Cultural Centre and Sydney Opera House.

Over 34 years after its creation, the Harlequin Group is still the world leader in flooring for dance, shows and events and reinforces its slogan day after day «The world dances on Harlequin floors».

Bob Dagger, founder and CEO of the Harlequin Group says: «When I launched my company in England over thirty years ago, I aimed at designing floors for theatre and dance using new, advanced materials. I am pleased to note that today, nearly all of the world’s most prestigious dance companies, along with many of the world’s largest venues, recognise the advantages of Harlequin floors; fewer injury risks and improvement of artists’ trust in the floor.»
