    What you’ll need

    The right size

    If your outdoor dance floor rental is too large, guests may find it intimidating. Too small and not everyone will fit. Getting the perfect size makes for the perfect dance party. So what is the perfect size? Generally speaking, you’ll want three square feet for every couple. Here’s a handy guide for selecting outdoor dance floor sizes to rent:

    The right spot

    A flat location is a must for the dance floor. Uneven, sloping or undulating areas, or areas with large bumps or rocks don’t allow for the stability needed for a portable outdoor dance floor. On top of cement or paver patios are a great place for your dance floor. Rented outdoor dance floors can also be placed on flat grassy areas. It is recommended that you mow the area on a short setting prior to backyard dance floor setup. Most outdoor dance floors will need a subfloor for stability, which can be requested when you rent an outdoor dance floor. The subfloors are often made of plywood and create a sturdy base your guests will appreciate.

    Outdoor dance floor rental costs

    Outdoor dance floor rental costs vary by region and rental store. Where the dance floor is expected to be used may also affect the price. Additionally, ask what all is included in the rental costs. Often delivery, setup, removal and cleaning costs are included.

    Make it a party

    Setting up the rented outdoor dance floor in the middle of the event space lets guests know what they can expect. If there is a meal with seating assignments, plan to have guests that are the most likely to dance sit next to the dance floor so it’s an easy transition for them. Have a plan to get people dancing. Start with leading by example and get out there and dance. If you’re not the guest of honor, make sure the person who is dances the night away too. Persuade others onto the dance floor by individual encouragement, an activity or by playing crowd-pleasing songs.
