Benefits of technology

The present invention is for a portable dance floor that has a movable floor surface that allows dancers to do spins and other movements while moving in a back-forward motion. The floor is made up of a frame and an endless surface that can be moved using a motor. This invention allows for a larger and more versatile dance floor that can be easily moved and set up without a lot of hassle.

Problems solved by technology

One particular issue is the size of the flooring system.
This requires a large rehearsal space.
The larger the number of people rehearsing the more challenging having enough space becomes.
While moving sidewalk, treadmill and staircase type devices have been developed for exercise and for the transportation of an individual, it's clear that these do not provide the kind of lateral and backward space and safety necessary for a dancer who is moving in more than just a forward direction such is the case in a dance number or an exercise type of dance movement where the dancer is spinning backwards and forward repetitively.
There is certainly nothing of a portable nature to accomplish such objectives.
