Okay, so I decided to tackle this project: installing a “rubber dancing” solid wooden floor. Sounds fancy, right? It’s basically a solid wood floor with a bit of bounce, perfect for my little home dance studio experiment.

First, I cleared out the room. This was probably the hardest part, honestly.

Next, I checked the subfloor. Mine was concrete, and thankfully, pretty level. I used a long level to double-check. Gotta have a smooth base, you know?

This is the “rubber” part of the “rubber dancing” floor. It’s this thick, spongy material that provides the cushioning. I made sure to overlap the seams and taped them down securely with some heavy-duty tape.

Now for the wood! This part took some patience. It’s like a giant puzzle.

• Cleared the Room.
• Checked & Leveled Subfloor.
• Rolled & Taped Rubber.
• Selected pre-finished solid oak.
• Laid & Tapped those Wooden Planks!

I kept going, row by row, staggering the joints for a more natural look. I used a circular saw for the straight cuts and a jigsaw for the tricky bits around doorways. Measure twice, cut once, as they say!

A little bit of caulk and some touch-up paint, and… done!

Now I have a floor that looks great and has that nice, gentle give when I’m moving around. Time to crank up the music!
