Installation requirements
Dance floor rental pricing includes installation on clean, level surfaces. For irregular or uneven ground such as lawn or dirt, a plywood subfloor is required at additional cost. Some floors are rated for indoor use only.
For outdoor installations, the floor must be protected from moisture — weather, sprinklers, anything. The panels warp easily once wet. A replacement charge of $450 per panel applies to damaged panels.
How big a floor do you need?
These recommendations are based on 9 to 10 square feet per couple for standard dancing. Occupancy is the number of people on the floor at one time — we recommend estimating that about 40% of your guests will be dancing at once. Needs vary with the type of dancing and the room, so treat these as guidance.
