Slipstop for slippery floors Slipstop powder is available to solve the problem of slippery dance floors.
Slipstop - for slippery floors
When a floor on which members of the SIFD dance regularly was recently polished, it became so slippery that the dance organisers were concerned about potential accidents. One of our members recommended Slipstop, which was used and found to be very effective. The organisers were grateful he brought it to their attention, and feel it should be better known. Slipstop is a very fine white powder which should be sprinkled sparingly on a slippery floor, and soon becomes invisible. It is marketed by, and available from, the Scottish National Dance Company, who operate a world-wide mail order service. For more details visit their website www.sndc.co.uk - or ring them on 0118 966 6006. The 150gm bottle is just £7.50 + p&p.
