I suppose a nicely mown lawn would do as well as (or better than) many of the really hard floors that one often has to dance on. When I made my original comment I was actually thinking of the farmers' fields I used to dance on. I don't know about anyone else, but I find dancing RSCDS style on a rough field or even a rough lawn really tiring. Not that I do it often. But from what I remember, it's probably skip change that I find the most challenging step to do on a rough surface. FWIW, Chris, New York.
