This resilience means a softer landing for dancers. Fresh Pond Ballet also has a marley surface, a special non-skid, non-slip dance vinyl designed for ease and flow of movement. There are no splinters, no uneven boards, etc. to hamper movement. Fresh Pond Ballet is concerned with safety and providing optimum conditions for learning ballet.
