Customer photo review of The Perfect Portable Tap Floor™ + The FanTAPstic Floor Pack

After many years, I am learning tap again, starting with the basics in a series named 6 Minute Taps from Terrence Taps. Each lesson is easy to follow with clear instructions and demonstrations from Terrence. Gradually moving from a slower beat to a faster one really helps solidify the movements. See that portable floor? The tap sound on the wood is crisp and clear. Immediate feedback to my ears when I miss a tap and when I hit all of them correctly.

The Perfect Portable Tap Floor™ + The FanTAPstic Floor Pack

Store owner replied: Christina, this just made my day! 🎉 Welcome back to the tap floor — and what a setup you have! That crisp wood sound is exactly what we're after, and your ears are already becoming your best teacher. Keep trusting that feedback! See you in the next 6 Minute Taps session! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer video review of The Perfect Portable Tap Floor™ + The FanTAPstic Floor Pack

I’ve had many tap floors in the past and this is the best sounding one I’ve had. It also works well for my bad knees. I love it!!!

The Perfect Portable Tap Floor™ + The FanTAPstic Floor Pack

Store owner replied: Thanks Sondra! Glad the floor is not only allowing you to enjoy tap more but, is also, reducing your discomfort. Awesome! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of The Perfect Portable Tap Floor™

This floor is everything! First off, the purple coordinates with my guest room/home office/home gym's décor. The size is ideal: it slides easily under my guest bed for storage when it's not in use, but it's got plenty of room to practice combinations. The floor really resonates with taps, making it a huge improvement over practicing on the floors in my house.

The Perfect Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hey Lee, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. That's a great shot of the floor as well. Enjoy! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

I love my tap board. It’s larger and more affordable than competitive products. The sound of my feets on the board is great. It’s lightweight and easy to carry.

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hi Lauren, I'm so glad the floor is serving you well. Enjoy your dancing and please do keep in touch! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

I absolutely love my tap floor. I started taking tap lessons with my girlfriend at the end of 2022 and wanted to be able to practice at home. I have a room that's basically my sewing room (empty nester - I took over my 32 year old daughters room - LOL) but the tap floor fits perfectly where I can watch lessons on the mounted TV and tap away. It's really helped me advance in my beginning tap lessons and it's great exercise rather than doing boring bicycle or treadmill stuff. Thanks Terrence for the floor and for your videos. AWESOME!!!!!

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Jane! Thanks so much for sharing your enjoyment of the floor AND the e-Tap lessons. I definitely recognize that lesson on the screen. Enjoy! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Took tap as a kid and now at 81 I’m starting again to check my bucket list and fulfill a dream. It’s hard, but I’m persevering and gaining confidence. Signed up at Dance School for Adult Tap Classes. Love that I can put it on carpet. Investigated many other tap boards but decided this was the one for me.. Also with the cushioning it’s better for my joints while tapping.

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hi Marge, Very cool picture! Thanks for sharing your experience and good luck on your new tap dance adventure. Please keep in touch. Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

I feel the difference dancing on this verses hard floors, the foam really makes it safer for joints. The picture shows a 3 and 7 year old dancing on it so you can get a visual of the size. Love it!

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hi Elizabeth, I love this image! Glad the floor is helping you to enjoy tap without risking your joints. Looks like the kids get it too! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

I love my new tap board. It’s a little larger than I imagined, but that’s okay it gives me more room to dance. It’s a great solution to practice at home and easily fits under the bed when not in use. It’s perfect for my needs. Thank you, Terrence.

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hey Linda, Thank you so much for this great picture. I love seeing how the floor fits into the context of your home. I'm so glad you're enjoying it and hope you'll continue to keep in touch as you continue your tap adventure! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer video review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

My daughter needed a way to practice at home and the portable tap floor was recommended by a friend. She immediately loved it! It’s clearly going to make practicing routines at home so much easier and more productive!

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

I had been wanting to get back into tap after not having taken a class in nearly 7 years. This tap floor is great because I can easily move it around, it sounds great, and it’s a good size for home, learning from online tutorials.

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hi Kayla, I'm so glad we could help you return to the joy of tap dancing! I hope 2022 is a year filled with rhythm and joy in your household. Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy your floor! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

This portable tap floor is just what I needed. It's large enough to practice at home but small enough to store under the bed or behind the sofa. It protects my floors from the damage that tapping on them would cause and has cushioning on the bottom to protect my shins. And the sound is great too!

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hi Carol, I'm beyond pleased that the floor is giving you everything you need and fitting into your life perfectly. Thank you so much for posting a review and including a photo! May you continue to have a great time tap dancing! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Love this floor! I had the OSB board for a year and then decided to buy this Birch board with the finish. The sound is wonderful and very loud. The finish makes the board slippery to start, but I actually really like how nice it is for slides. I love the way the board is cushioned—it really helps my knees!! I tried a different place’s tap board on my tile kitchen floor, and I could tell the difference. I much prefer the portabletapfloor for tapping on that surface! The size of the board is also fantastic, not too small. My OSB board used to shed, but I don’t see that from this birch board, making clean up super easy! I highly recommend this floor. Thanks Terrence!

Make Your Portable Tap Floor™

Store owner replied: Hi Samantha! YAY! I'm thrilled that you're enjoying your new floor even more than the first one. We strive to get better and better over time. Thanks for sharing your wonderful and experience and have a great time dancing...hopefully we can replace this one with an even better one in a few more years :) Your friend in rhythm. Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Make Your Portable Tap Floor

I bought my son this tap board 4 years ago. He uses it every day. He brought it to college, and used it outside during COVID with his tap dance club. Unfortunately, he left it outside in the rain (don’t do this!), and after another summer of tapping, it was starting to turn to wood pulp. So he bought himself a new board. It’s sturdy, and not too heavy, and it has a great sound. Just don’t leave it out in the rain.

Make Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: Hi James, Thanks for coming back and being a repeat customer. I appreciate you sharing that story and bit of advice about your son's floor. Hopefully it will help remind others not to make that mistake! :D Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

The Portable Tap Floor has made it possible to rediscover my love of tap! Being able to take virtual classes from home with this board has been such a bright spot throughout COVID. And -- you won't find better customer service anywhere! The Terrence Taps team is really just amazing. So responsive, and they go the extra mile not only to get you a great product but to provide resources to help you get started with your new board. Highly recommend!

Store owner replied: Hi Monica! Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. I especially love the ones that allow me to see dancers on the floors! It makes my day. I'm so glad we could take great care of you and I hope we get to dance together sometime in a post-COVID world. Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

I absolutely love my new tap board!! Since teaching dance and drama virtually in my home studio due to the pandemic I’ve adapted my teaching skills and made this purchase. I’m a young (so I’d like to think), senior and have taught over 40 years. In fact, one of my newest students purchased this exact board just recently and are waiting to receive it so they can hear the awesome sounds their own feet with taps and this board makes! The only thing I would like is just to be a bit wider so traveling steps are easier to execute instead of always turning around and going back. Would I purchase it again? YES! Thank you so much for the great product and awesome service, I’ll continue letting my students know where to shop if they are in need of a tap board. Happy Tapping, Bonnie dancecoach2@yahoo.com Minnesota

Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: Wow Bonnie! Thanks so much for this thorough review. I'm so glad both you and your students are benefiting from the floor. Keep up the great work! I do hope to begin offering a full 3ft x 4ft floor later this year so please keep in touch. Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

I bought this tap board to avoid tapping on the slippery tile floor. So far I absolutely love it. It sounds great and it’s lightweight so it’s easy to put away when not in use (which is everyday!). I got it for myself but my daughter loves it too - both the board side and the padded side. I’m also enjoying the online tap lessons. This is by my favorite purchase in awhile. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to tap at home.

Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: Hi Susan, It sounds like the floor is serving you and your daughter well (adorable picture by the way). Loving the scuff marks as well as they are a sign of your dedication to and love of tap dancing! Keep enjoying the floor and thank you for sharing. Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

I didn’t realize that the a “no finish” option meant it wouldn’t be treated at all and would scratch instantly. I assumed the finish option listed in the customization was an additional layer. I wish that had been more clear or warned in the description before I purchased it.

Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: Hi Allison, Thank you for sharing your concerns here as it allows me to, not only assist you, but give additional guidance to others that may be in the process of deciding which floor is right for them. In the "Common Questions" section of the product page we mention that the finish extends the life of the floor by absorbing some of the inevitable wear and tear. However, even with the finish applied, your floor will inevitably show "signs of use" such as scuffs, scratches, etc. after you start dancing on it. This is true no matter which floor you decide to go with. It tends to look worse at the beginning and better after the floor is well worn in. The truth is that tap dancing is inherently damaging to any surface so I see these as a sign that your floor is being used properly...like badges of honor. This is why many dance studios with hardwood floors don't allow tap classes and ballet classes to be done on the same dance floor. The floors are made to be tap danced on instead of looked at and admired. Just be sure to always check that your screws are flush or below the surface of your taps so as not to exacerbate things. Fortunately, this doesn't prevent the floor from serving its main purpose which is to provide you with a safe, resonant, fun place to tap dance that will last for years. More good news = you can easily apply your own finish to this birch floor (note that this is not true of the finished birch floor). One option is to apply "tung oil" as it gives the floor a nice appearance and makes scratches & scuffs less obvious. If you prefer to add additional 'protection', Miniwax makes a fast drying, polyurethane aerosol that works well and is super affordable. If you'd like my help exploring any of these options please let me know. I'm here for you! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

This is a GORGEOUS tap floor made by an expert! My son absolutely loves the sound his taps make on the wood and enjoys using the tumbling mat on the other side. I feel very proud to be able to offer my son this top-of-the-line kit to outfit his digital learning journey during Covid.

My daughter loves it. She does tap classes at least 2 times per week and she is intermediate to advanced, she has it for 3 weeks and it holds and sounds great. Great purchase. I can send videos as well so you can hear the sound.

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

I love this board! I have the OSB and the sound is great, not muffled. The length gives me enough space to do some bigger moves. It is easy to pick up and slide against the wall when I am done. The surface is not too sticky and not too slippery. I like that my knees feel safer using this board because of the couple inches of padding under the wood. I sweep after, because small fragments flake off of it, but it’s not a big deal at all. It is a little loud, so if your apartment has thin walls that might be something to consider. I researched a bunch of tap mats/boards online, and I’m so happy I chose this one because of the sound, size, and knee protection. And Terrence has tap class videos to boot! Thank you!

Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: Hi Samantha, I'm so glad the tap floor and the online lessons are helping you! Thank you for the detailed response and for sharing that great picture. We love seeing how our floors are "living" with tap dancers all over the country. The minor flaking you mentioned will become less of an issue over time. Please feel free to reach out if I can be of any assistance! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

I love my new tap board! It is light enough to carry up or down my stairs and I love, love , love the sound! The 3x4 feet size is great for my shuffles to the side and buffalo steps. So happy with my purchase.

Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: What a great photo Lori! When I took my first tap class I was 20 years old and I remember the buffalo being so challenging that I had to stay after class to work on it. There was just something about that weight change that had me all befuddled. I'm glad to help you master that and all of your other tap steps at home! Have fun! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

I am 75 years old and have been at home in Florida for 4 months avoiding the Covid. I haven’t been able to go to tap classes and my technique has really gone. With the floor I’ll be able to practice enough that if and when i finally get back to classes I can maybe pick up where i left off. I also use the floor for doing sit-ups and other exercises by turning it over, thanks to your son discovering this possibility. I wish the floor were a bit larger but then it would be too heavy. I will use the size to advantage by making my tapping smaller and closer to the body. Thanks for your innovation. I love tap dance. I have danced my whole life but discovered tap in my fifties. Wish i would have found it earlier. Good luck with your business. Winifred from Florida

Customer photo review of Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Absolutely love my new tap board! It sounds awesome, easily portable, supports my joints better than other tap boards!

Design Your Portable Tap Floor

Store owner replied: Doris! Thank you for your review AND for sharing this great photo! So very cool. Bonus tip: If you ever find that the floor begins to move around on the smooth hardwood floor when you're using it, it can help to sweep under the board and/or to put a small rug underneath. I often do this when performing on the board at schools where they have those super smooth tile floors. Have fun and dance often! Your friend in rhythm, Terrence Taps

As a beginner this is an easy way for me to practice at home

Love sharing my love of tap dancing with my granddaughter❣️Purchasing the portable tap floor was easy especially since it was recommended by some current tap dancing families! It was also pleasant to work with Terrence and team when I had a question! It was dealt with respectfully and promptly.

I gave it a 4 because I've practiced on it only once, however, that one time I really liked the quality and the sound of my taps on it. Instead of practicing, I have been visiting a very good friend every day who is in the hospital because of a serious fall.
