Options for Dance Floor Tiles

Versatile dance floor tiles from Greatmats allow people to create dance floors almost anywhere. Many people use these click-together tiles for a temporary installation, but others may leave them in place for a semi-permanent solution. Whether you’re practicing or delivering performances, a dance floor tile product from Greatmats is the perfect choice.

Having interlocking dance tiles on hand lets you hold anniversary parties or wedding receptions in your backyard, set up a room for dance practice, or bring the dance floor with you for a performance. Our modular tiles can go over almost any surface and let you show off your mad dance skills whenever you’re in the mood.

Types and Styles of Dance Floor Tiles

At Greatmats, we offer many different dance floor tile products to fit your requirements, and our product experts can help you find the right one.

Tiles

Dance practice at home or in a studio is easier when you have dance tiles you can install yourself. We offer many different products to fit whatever budget you have in mind.

• A ''good'' dance floor tile is the EZ Portable Dance Floor Tile product with a wood-grain vinyl top layer and a hard plastic base that features a hidden interlocking tab-and-loop system.
  
• A ''better'' dance floor tile is the SnapLock Dance Floor Premium Tiles that have a realistic wood-grain look and a hidden tab-and-loop connection system on the edges.
  
• A ''best'' dance floor tile is our Portable Solid Color Dance Floor Tile product. It uses a cam-lock connection system to maximize stability in 3-by-3-foot tiles that can cover a large space quickly.

Kits

Dance floor tile kits contain all the pieces and components needed to create a specific coverage size of flooring for dancing. For example, our Tap Dance Floor Kit is available in coverage sizes ranging from 3-by-3 feet to 6-by-6 feet. Smaller kits are made for one person to practice, while larger kits allow two or more people to practice together.

The modular tiles in the kit do not require glue for installation, meaning you can assemble the kit for practice and quickly disassemble the tiles afterward.

Wood-Look Designs

Many people prefer dance floor tiles that have a wood-look design. This is a natural look for dance floors, but real wood tiles wouldn’t be very portable. Most dance floor tile products with a wood-look finish consist of a vinyl top layer that can resemble any type of flooring over a firm plastic layer. These floors realistically resemble wood species like beech, cherry, maple, oak, pine, or walnut.

Our Portable Dance Floor Wood Grain Tiles look like wood planks and connect with a cam-lock system that’s perfect for a DIY installation.

Solid-Color Designs

Solid-color dance floor tiles allow you to create a variety of patterns in the flooring. Many people create a black-and-white checkerboard pattern in the layout for an eye-catching design, while others prefer a single-color layout.

Our SnapLock Dance Floor Tiles are available in black, white, gray, and wood-grain colors. Each one covers 3-by-3 feet of space. When you want to create a dance floor you can use to make professional-looking dance videos, our Rosco TV Studio Flooring Tiles are made for this purpose. They’re available in solid black, white, or gray colors.

Dance Floor Tile Sizes

At Greatmats, we offer several different sizes of dance tiles.

• 1-by-1 foot: Many people find small tiles easy to handle and install, but they take longer to cover a large area.
  
• 18-by-18 inches: Medium-sized tiles have the benefit of being a comfortable size to handle while also allowing you to create a large layout faster than 1-by-1-foot tiles.
  
• 3-by-3 or 3-by-4 feet: Large dance floor tile sizes allow you to cover a large space quickly, but they can be more difficult for one person to handle during a DIY installation.

Dance Floor Tile Q&A

What makes a good mobile dance floor?

A good mobile dance floor should be convenient to transport to different locations and easy to install by DIYers. People often choose versatile floors that they can use indoors or temporarily outdoors. The parts should be easy to store once the event is over.

How much do dance floor tiles cost?

The cost for dance floor tiles can be as little as $4 to $7 per square foot when you select vinyl surface tiles with snap-together designs. If you want wooden tiles to create a sprung floor, the cost could be as high as $30 per square foot. Greatmats has multiple options to fit into any budget.

How do I create an outdoor wedding dance floor?

To create an outdoor wedding dance floor, determine whether the layout will go over grass, gravel, dirt, or concrete. For soft surfaces, you may need to install a dance subfloor consisting of firm tiles as a base for stability. You can then install tiles with a vinyl surface that easily click together over the top.

How big should an event dance floor be?

The best size for a dance floor for an event will depend on the number of people you expect to be simultaneously using the space. Multiply the total number of dancers by 9 to determine the appropriate square footage layout to use. Giving each person 9 square feet of space ensures everyone can move comfortably.

What are some ideas for dance floor tiles over carpet?

To install dance floor tiles over carpet, you may need to install a firm base layer that won’t buckle, pull apart at the seams, or collapse into the carpet pile. Then place the dance floor over the firm tiles. You could also use a vinyl surface tile that has a firm plastic base layer for the necessary support.
