When planning an event with a dance floor, one of the first questions you’ll need to answer is, “What size dance floor do I need?” It’s a common question and one that our team at Dance Floors LA gets all the time.

Determining the size of the dance floor you need depends on a few factors. First, you’ll need to decide how many people you expect will be dancing at any given time. If you’re expecting a large crowd, or if your event is expected to have a lot of turnovers, you’ll want a larger floor. However, if you’re expecting just a few couples or small groups to be dancing at a time, you can get away with a smaller floor.

The second factor to consider is the type of dancing that will be happening. If your guests will be doing mostly slow dances or line dances, you won’t need as much space as if they’re going to be doing more active dances like the cha-cha or jive.

Finally, consider the overall size and layout of your event space. You’ll want to make sure that the dance floor fits well within the space and that there’s enough room around it for guests to move comfortably. Once you have all of these factors considered, you can start looking at specific sizes!

A good rule of thumb is that each person needs about four square feet of space. So, for example, if you’re expecting 100 people to be dancing at any given time, you would need a 15′ x 15′ Dance Floor. Of course, this isn’t an exact science – if you’re really not sure, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and get a larger floor than you think you need! For your references, here is the most common dance floor rental sizing you might consider:

• 100 Guests = 15′ x 15′ Dance Floor
• 150 Guests = 18′ x 18′ Dance Floor
• 200 Guests = 21′ x 21′ Dance Floor
• 250 Guests = 24′ x 24′ Dance Floor
• 300 Guests = 27′ x 27′ Dance Floor
