can this board be used, without yoga mat, as a dance floor to practice turns, specifically pirouette

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.

If it's on carpet I think it'd be a sturdy substitute to a hardwood dance floor. There are little grooves where the boards snap together that make the board not so flat.

I would use a thin mat under the equipment. The exercise mat is nice but thick and would likely distort.

If have to say, "no." It's great for Barre excercises... It does what it's made to do. I have a young child and only let her stretch with it. Definitely would not use it for flips. It's not sturdy enough. Hope this helps.

I think you will be fine although I noticed my feet slipping a bit I don't now if it was just me not the mat. I haven't done much Yoga since this is the reason why I purchased it. I used it for about 40 minutes I was fine after adjusting myself I think because I am tall (5'11) and positioning myself accurately for each pose can be a factor on slippage.

Possibly. I've found that the puzzle pieces sometimes come apart when I move very vigorously, so it may be fine for something like a bench, but less great for something like a cardio bike. In general, I put the puzzle mat on top of a non-skid mat made for carpets so it moves around less. Also make sure to measure the equipment as you may need to connect a second set of pieces depending on how big the equipment is.

Also not sure about the question. I have found that either side of the mat is usable and affords traction when dry. But if my hands get a little sweaty, they begin to slip. I don't do "hot" yoga, but I don't think this would work for a really sweaty practice.

Definitely! I changed out the stopper for a plug for dancing. The metal trunk makes this an exceptional skate. I did wear out the boot after 1 year of serious use (skating twice a week) so I bought a black Riedell Boot to replace the white boot. But this sake is initially a great purchase and investment. You will also eventually change out the wheels for dance wheels (slicker - less grippy).

I don't use a mat with it and I have hardwood floors -- i haven't had any issues or problems. I think you'll love this machine. I've had no issues or complaints.

yes, but I do not recommend this board. It has weird trucks. The bearings are too tight and therefore it does not allow for a lot of spin. A lot of work for little motion.

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 would say no, but with a thicker quilt or maybe a yoga mat underneath you should be fine.

I can't imagine this mat would move doing a Zumba workout....but I'm not sure I would recommend it for that purpose. LifeBoard isn't really a "mat", it's a 2-piece plateau on which to place a mat. It actually elevates ~1inch off the ground...and I feel like it might end up sagging in the middle after such rigorous activity like Zumba. I think a person moves around more with Zumba than the space of LifeBoard would accommodate, as well :)

The Board is flat, Very little if any concave. It can turn tightly and is very flexible for me. I weigh 220lbs. Grip tape comes applied and is not harsh of you plan to ride barefoot, and Can get slippery when wet.

From the primary user (certified yoga instructor) of the Lifeboard (I was purchaser) -- "The board surface is quite slick, even with tennis shoes on. Having a yoga mat on top helps, but even the mat itself can and does slip somewhat. Have successfully done low-intensity Zumba on that surface but really would not recommend it for that purpose."

It is used in our home to practice gymnastics such as front and back walk overs , back bends, cartwheels, ext., We have hard wood floors as well and (slipping) it hasn't been an issue. We love you the mats. They can be velcroed together. They are durable and not too heavy to move around for placement. Hope that helps.

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

I have bloch dance sneakers (without much tread and to allow more pivoting on the ball of the foot) - they don't "stick" but they don't pivot easily either - it's more of a lighter grip than a "stick". This mat allows better movement than on my carpet, but it does not allow enough movement for me not to modify moves requiring fast pivoting. I have ordered carpet dancers and hope that this will ease the problem.
