LED floors

LED floors and interactive movement floors make public space more attractive, more active and more inclusive. They offer a new way to bring together moving, music, play and meeting. Especially for young people, an interactive floor can be a low-threshold reason to go outside and be active together.

W&H Sports delivers solutions such as the Urban Dance Ground for municipalities, schools, residential neighbourhoods, parks, squares and public movement places. The focus is on creating a place where young people feel safe, can express themselves and come into motion in their own way.

The Urban Dance Ground is a public dance floor in the neighbourhood. The floor is freely accessible and intended as a place where young people can dance, chill, listen to music, make videos and meet each other. In that way, the Urban Dance Ground is more than a sports facility: it is a social and creative meeting place.

The concept was created out of the need to make public space more attractive for young people, and in particular for girls. Many sports and play areas are traditionally designed around football or other forms of sport that do not appeal to every target group. The Urban Dance Ground offers space specifically for dance, expression and creativity.

Research and practical experience show that teenage girls make less use of public sports and movement facilities than boys. One important reason is that the outdoor space often does not sufficiently match their interests, needs and sense of safety.

The Urban Dance Ground addresses this by offering a place where dance, music and meeting are central. Young people can move without pressure to perform, without membership and without fixed training times. As a result, it creates a low-threshold way to be active in their own neighbourhood.

Dance and social media play a major role in young people’s day-to-day lives. The Urban Dance Ground fits in well. Young people can dance there, practice their own choreography, record TikTok videos or try out new moves together.

The dance floor gives young people a place where they can express their creativity in public space. This makes the facility suitable for neighbourhoods, school environments, squares and other locations where there is a need for a contemporary movement place.

The Urban Dance Ground comes with an innovative DJ Post. This sound facility works without a fixed power connection. By turning a disc, energy is generated, which amplifies the sound of a smartphone.

Young people can thus play their own music without having to take along a separate speaker. This makes the dance spot low-threshold, durable and practical to use. The DJ Post contributes to the atmosphere and makes the Urban Dance Ground more attractive for spontaneous use.

A public dance floor must be suitable for intensive use in outdoor public space. That is why the Urban Dance Ground is designed as a weather-resistant and robust solution. The place is freely accessible and can be set up as a safe meeting place for young people in the neighbourhood.

When choosing the location, it is important to look at visibility, social safety, accessibility, lighting, surroundings and connection to existing walking routes. W&H Sports is happy to think along about a suitable place and layout.

The Urban Dance Ground is suitable for different dance styles, including urban dance, freestyle, TikTok dance, street dance and breakdance. The surface has been developed to make it pleasant to move and offers space for individual dancing, group activities, workshops and clinics.

A Urban Dance Ground comes into its own best when the place is also activated. Workshops, clinics and events can help to involve young people and make the floor known in the neighbourhood.
