Dance Flooring for Home

Home Dance Floor Options

The idea of dancing freely—like nobody’s watching—is quite a bit easier when you know what you’re doing. Whether you want to work on your dance moves for fun, for social media, or to prepare for serious dance classes, practicing whenever and wherever you want is far easier when you can set up a home dance floor in a spare bedroom, attic, garage, or basement.

Depending on where you’re setting up the at-home dance floor, you may need to go over carpet, concrete, wood, or vinyl floors. Greatmats’ dance flooring for home includes all the parts you need, including subflooring, sprung floors, marley, and tap practice dance tiles. Once you have the right dance mats for home in place, you’ll have such a safe and comfortable place to practice dancing that you won’t care if anyone is watching.

Types of Dance Flooring for Home

When you rely on Greatmats for your home dance floor, you have multiple options for the materials, layouts, and subflooring at your home studio. No matter what kind of dance floor mat plans you have, we have products available to meet them.

Interlocking Tiles

We offer interlocking tiles for at-home practice. Their vinyl surface is ideal for tap, ballroom, and hip hop. We offer multiple pre-sized kits made for one or two people to practice comfortably. We also have 1x1-foot tiles, so you can create any size of dance floor by adding more pieces.

We have foam interlocking tiles you can use as underlayment for other types of dance floors, delivering a little bit of comfort. If you’re using a thin roll out marley over the top, interlocking foam tiles give you a sturdy base layer.

Varying Roll Lengths

We have custom lengths of marley rolls available up to 131 feet, so you can match the exact size of space for your dance studio at home. We have pre-cut sizes available, too, including:

• 6 feet
  
• 8 feet
  
• 10 feet

Packaged Kits

When you want everything in one convenient kit, we have dance floor kit packages that contain a comfortable base layer, roll of marley, and vinyl tape. Many of these kits are close to 10x10 feet, so they fit nicely in a standard-sized spare bedroom.

Home Dance Floor Q&A

What kind of flooring is used for home dance studios?

The best kind of home dance studio flooring is the Studio Elite Home Dance Subfloor, which is a top-ranked professional dance flooring system. It is an affordable subfloor option that provides excellent cushioning and support underneath marley rolls. This underlayment makes for an easy installation with no glue required, meaning it’s a portable option.

Can you put dance floors over carpet?

Yes, you can put dance floors over low-pile carpeting. If you're looking for a home dance floor installation on carpeting, EZ Portable Dance Floor Tiles fit the bill. These pieces connect tightly. You can install them over a relatively flat carpet surface like low-pile carpeting.

What is the best multipurpose dance floor for use at home?

The best kind of multipurpose dance floor for use at home is our interlocking Portable Dance Floor Tiles. These tiles support contemporary, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, and ballet floors for home practice time.

What is the best garage dance studio flooring?

The best garage dance studio flooring usually is a thin roll of marley flooring. However, you will want to use a base layer under the marley when placing it in a garage with a concrete floor.

How can you practice tap dancing at home?

For how to practice tap dancing at home, we recommend our Tap Dance Floor Kit. It contains all the materials you need to create a 3-by-3-foot tap dance flooring. The vinyl surface has a high-quality simulated wood-grain finish that never needs refinishing. Just pop the pieces together for practice and disassemble them afterward to place the kit in storage.
