would this mat be good for gymnastics use

It may not have enough weight to keep from slipping depending on the type of activity. It may be fine for small area practice and stretching. It may not befirm enough for say a hand stand and various moves from that position.

I bought the mat for my son who is a big guy (225#). He uses it for exercise & stretching & is very satisfied with it. He has uncarpeted hardwood floors and finds the padding completely adequate.

This board has a rough surface designed for a yoga mat not to slide. I don't know if it would work for a dance move such as this. Not sure if it would be wide enough either. if you had socks on or dance shoes it might work for you. This is just my opinion hope it helps.

I wouldn't use this mat with sneakers or any other work out footgear other then what it was intended for; yoga. In my opinion I think it would probably be fine, since it it such a great mat, but you wouldn't be getting the longevity of the mat like you would if it were only used for yoga or Pilates.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

it is definitely not. You want thicker plastic for softer surfaces. Also make sure that the size of the mat is large enough for you. This mat is pretty small.

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

It is easy to install and I would think it would be suitable for practice. I think the silk ones might actually be better for dance if you are talking about what I think you are. cirque de Soleil type stuff? This could be a little stiff for dance. But I love it. It's kind of like parachute material if that helps.

I use the mat for a tile game, Mah Jong. I think the mat would work similarly for cards. The mat adds friction allowing you to get a better grasp of the tile/card. Actually there are two different surfaces and you could test which side is best.

I have had no problems with the mat, and I'm not a light-weight. The mat would probably work well for you.

I'm not sure it would work. The main issue I see is that it may not stick well to the back of the mat. They are inexpensive so it might be with the try.

The mat's rubber surface isn't particularly slick and the mat is very heavy. I wouldn't think it too likely to slip.

Yes, absolutely. I use the board to ballet and barre workouts. It stays put just fine. It's great!

Yes the mat will stick well to the floor, it's not sticky on top, but with multiple uses, once it is broken in it will develop traction:)

Yes it could! Comfy but tough enough to be an all around exercise mat. You may want to look into the extended size mat and you can use it for both activities without limiting yourself space wise.

Yes it is good for any exercises. The mat is very thick . I am thin and bony and thinner mats were uncomfortable to use. It is also quite long to accommodate a tall person

I don't see why not. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter to practice tumbling. It doesn't have any loose parts and doesn't come apart. It is constructed well. It also folds up in kind of a stack style.
