Need knee pads for rehearsal in modern dance, where we turn/roll on our knees on the floor. Too thick for dance?

For rehearsal, may work. they are thick enough to be conspicuous under loose yoga pants.

I'd invest in a towel mat to lay on top of your mat. Manduka is great, but I slip during class - I get very sweaty - and if I've forgotten my towel, it's not a fun experience.

They give you a choice between two thicknesses. I got the thickest one because we have tile floors as well. It is very nice. My daughter loves it and I also have bad knees and it is quite comfortable to me.

I would say yes. These are some of the thinnest knee pads I've ever owned and they still protect great. If your work pants are on the baggier side you'll be fine. If you weren't looking specifically for hardshell pads, then a thinner option would be volleyball pads, but these are the thinnest hardshells I've owned and they saved my knees a hundred times while snowboarding.

Hey Russ, though it's only a quarter inch thick, it's still a pretty heavy duty mat. I also use it in my garage to do CrossFit wods, but I keep it in the floor. When I do roll it up, it's only for a short time, and it hasn't retained any "memory" from being rolled up. I really don't think you'll have any problems with it, especially if you use it often and don't keep it rolled up for an extended period of time. Good luck!

Yes, every time I use it, people come over and want to know what brand it is because it is so nice and thick. It's great for your knees and your back. I haven't found that it slips at all while I'm exercising.

I doubt it. They protect against bumps from the surface you are kneeling on and the occasional bump. There are much more heavily padded kneepads out there - try Alta. They just don't fit as nice for walking.

Our Barracuda Mat is 72" x 24" and 5mm thick. Yes, it will provide enough cushion for your knees and you will find that the traction is great!

These pads would only work that way if you purchased them a bit bigger than the legs on what you intend to move. This would help if the furniture did try to slip off it would notdamage the floor. The other suggestion I would have would be to buy pads with rubber on one side that would keep your furniture in place while moving but could be removed.

I use them on a Marley dance floor. They work for my dancers. They can slip a little. But they are perfect for what I use them for.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

Very good knee pads, very tough. Use them outside on gravel surfaces day in and out. Would not be afraid to use them to lay flooring. If they scratch the flooring, i would use different flooring because it won't hold up to normal ware and tear anyway.

It would cushion your knees fine but it's purpose is for balance training. If you are moving in different positions, it could make it more difficult. A thick yoga matt might serve you better and be a lot cheaper.

They would be too restrictive. They are very thick; really to be used in exercise class whne on one's knees.

Yeeees don't worry you can use the foam pad, but only Foam pad black, why this material is less THICK.
