How to calculate Dance Floor size

1. Casual Event (e.g., birthday, social gatherings)

• Recommended Space: 2-3 square feet per person
• Why: Not everyone will be dancing at once, so you can allocate less space per person.

2. Formal Event (e.g., weddings, galas)

• Recommended Space: 4-5 square feet per person
• Why: More people are likely to be on the dance floor simultaneously, especially during key moments like the first dance.

3. Very Active Event (e.g., parties, dance-focused events)

• Recommended Space: 5-6 square feet per person
• Why: Events where the dance floor is the main attraction will require more space to keep guests comfortable.
