ponklemum Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Hi all, sorry I know this isn’t ballet related. I’ve been looking online at the harlequin tap and turn boards. My 2 dc’s would like one (between them) but I’m not sure if they’re worth the money - it’s £119 so I don’t want to spend that much if it’s not worth it. Does anyone have any experience of them?

taximom Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 My dd had a tap board about 15 years ago or so which we seem to remember being possibly a piece of melamine. At a local dance festival we just put pieces of hardboard down for tappers! Heather (aka Taximom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) If i recall rightly, my husband made one from the offcuts of a laminate floor, stuck onto a piece of hardboard or similar. Not the ideal dance floor of course, but for the amount of time it was used it seemed fine. It was useful for DD when practising particular steps that she was finding technically challenging but she didnt use it that much really. No doubt the Harlequin board will be a high quality item but its a lot of money. You could buy an awful lot of laminate for £119...
