[Wooden Kiwi Productions](http://www.woodenkiwi.com/), a Rosco Floor Dealer in Massachusetts, recently installed a [Rosco SubFloor](http://www.roscodancefloors.com/floors/subfloor.cfm) in preparation for performances of [**Yvonne Rainer: *The Concept of Dust, or How do you look when there's nothing left to move?***](https://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1568) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Fittingly enough – Yvonne Rainer crafted the piece to express the aches and pains experienced during the aging process. Surely, the inspirational 80 year-old dancer, choreographer and author of “[The Aching Body in Dance](http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/PAJJ_a_00171),” – along with her group of five over-40 dancers (Rainer’s “Raindears”) appreciated the cushion and support that the SubFloor offered for the performance.
