Dance Floor finish

Amazing the differences of opinion on what is a good dance floor finish. One website insists there must be polyurethane or the floor will be ruined and goes on to suggest one type of finish. Another says the dance floor people are keeping the best finish a secret!
A good authority, Ron Gursky, says the best floor is the bare wood with the tiniest bit of wax, applied by mixing it with sawdust.
When it is time for ballet pointe, a "slip-no-more" finish can go on is removable. Rosin is traditional but pretty extreme since it can get caked on.
I am happy with the portable floor's polyurethane. An outdoor locale inevitably has a lot of extraneous material.
