What moves the price

Dance floors & staging cost drivers

  1. 01

    Size

    Floors are priced by section or square foot, so a larger guest count means a larger floor.

  2. 02

    Finish

    Wood-look floors are the cheapest; white, black, LED and mirror finishes cost more.

  3. 03

    Subfloor

    Grass and uneven ground need a subfloor first, which adds cost and setup time.
