How to work out what you need

Who dances
Assume 30-50% of guests are on the floor at peak.
- 2
Square footage
Give each dancer about 3-4.5 sq ft: 15x15 for 150 guests, 18x18 for 200+.
- 3
Stage
A 8x12 to 12x16 stage at 16-24" high fits a band; DJs usually need only a table.

Dance floors & staging rental FAQs
What size dance floor do I need for 150 guests?
About 15x15 feet (225 sq ft), assuming a third to half of guests dance at once. For 100 guests, 12x12 is the usual size.
Can you put a dance floor on grass?
Yes, but grass needs a subfloor first so the panels sit level. Your tent vendor can quote leveled subflooring.
