.Harlequin's roll out dance floors were laid in the main hall of the school, where the parquet floor was covered with Harlequin Studio. Harlequin Cascade, which is the same flooring that The Royal Ballet dances on at The Royal Opera House, was used to cover the wooden floor in the Auditorium and also for the large marquee erected in the school grounds.
Artistic director of The Wells Summer School Francesca Filpi, worked closely with British Harlequin. She said, "The wooden floors on their own are too hard and slippery for dancers and potentially dangerous, too. I am glad our students are able to enjoy the same quality of dance floors that we have at Covent Garden."
