UK - When Walker Dance Park Music were invited to perform their unique style of dance at British Dance Edition 2004 in Cambridge, it was British Harlequin's Allegro flooring that organizers Dance East requested to convert a wooden concert stage into a suitable dance floor. Described as a 'distinct marriage of music and dance' Walker Dance Park Music, an associate company of the Royal Opera House, presented Silence of the Soul at the West Road Concert Hall in a performance sponsored by British Harlequin at BDE 2004.

Harlequin's Allegro floor, especially developed for such situations, is the thickest roll-out floor currently available and offers high quality protection against hard sub-floors, such as concrete, to provide a 'semi-sprung' dance floor. Allegro can be used as a loose lay floor that is tough, that always lays flat and provides an excellent dance surface to help reduce performer fatigue and minimize the risk of impact injuries. Thanks to the unique construction of tough fibre interply with closed-cell foam backing and a slip-resistant vinyl surface, Allegro is ideally suited to touring applications and certainly solved the need for 'instant' flooring at BDE 2004.

At another BDE 2004 venue - Comberton Village College - Random Dance's Harlequin-sponsored performance of Alpha, also took place on the same Allegro floor. Monica Arnott, marketing manager for British Harlequin said: "I would like to thank Dance East for the opportunity to be involved with BDE 2004. We were delighted to be able to sponsor fine performances by Walker Dance Park Music and Random Dance."
