Frequently asked questions
How big should my dance floor be?
A common rule of thumb is about 4.5 sq ft per dancer, with roughly 40% of guests dancing at once. Lively crowds may need more.
What sizes do dance floors come in?
Floors are built from 3'×3' sections, so sizes step in 3-foot increments, such as 12'×12', 15'×15', 18'×18', 21'×21' and 24'×24'.
