What is this modular floor made of?
Ava
The tiles are manufactured with a high-grade polypropylene and have a vinyl top surface that replicates the look of wood.
If I want to put this floor on a plush carpet then which product do i need to use? Please share the product link or information. TIA
Mii
Dance floor kits can generally speaking be installed and used just fine over a dense, low pile type carpet. Over a high pile carpet, We would recommend putting down some plywood board to make sure you have a sturdy foundation underneath the tiles and that they do not come undone.
Can this be use on a concrete surface or is it better to add additional rubber flooring? Also does the surface need to be perfectly flat?
Valerie
You can most definitely install this directly over concrete. A thin rubber underlayment could be used to help to mitigate the sound of the tiles on the concrete. The surface should be nice and flat so that the tiles do not become interlocked when in use.
I want to use this floor over low pile carpet for a rolling cabinet. Will the floor tiles remain flush as wheels are rolled across it? Will the surface deform under pressure? Each wheel would be supporting about 100 lbs of cabinet, but a ballerina on pointe would weigh more than that in the same area, so I was thinking this might work. More worried about whether rolling across two tiles would be a problem, as well as, the long term effects of cabinet wheels sitting in one spot for a long period of time.
Dana Cordes
This use should be fine.
How do the kits come, do they come in something that I can use for storage & transport, is the white easy to keep white?
DJ Rockalot
Dance Floor Kits are shipped in cardboard boxes. These tiles can be cleaned with a soap and water solution.
I want to use this dance floor for tap practice. Can this flooring be set on top of my existing wood floors without damaging them or would I need to place something between my wood floor and this dance floor? Thanks!
Lisa
We would recommend putting some type of protection down when using this product as to not possibly damage your wood floors.
if say you buy a 5x5 kit, can you add to make it bigger later if you want? Like if you had more room down the line, could it be expanded to 10 x10 if you wanted to purchase another 5x5 and add it to the existing floor?
Michelle Wilson
Yes, you can add Dance Floor Kits to Dance Floor kits.
Are edge pieces included?
Clarke
Edging is included for all of our Dance Floor Kits. The edging will consist of enough edging to go around the whole floor.
We are wondering what thickness of plywood is recommended to use this floor over a carpet. Is there a thickness that works best?
Lisa
If the carpet is a high, plush pile a thicker plywood would likely be better as it would lay more flat.
I don't have the space to leave this out permanently. Can this easily be disassembled and reassembled? And will it stand up to this kind of use?
Also, I have downstairs neighbors, will this absorb sound so my steps don't disturb them?
Ashley
Dance floor kits can definitely be disassembled and reassembled. You may place a rug, carpet pad, or something cushioned like our subfloor tiles to help absorb some of the sound for folks on the floor below.
On the 10'x10' kit, is the actual dance floor that dimension with the edge pieces being outside of that? Or is the 10'x10' dimensions counting the length of the edge pieces?
Brian Wolken
The size refers to the 1' x 1' tiles. Edge pieces would extend the size.
Does this work over top of grass for an outdoor dance floor for a wedding?
The tiles work best with a subfloor surface that is dense, compact, and level so that the tiles can stay together.
Is this floor weather proof? I would like to set the floor up outside and leave it set up for the summer.
Mylinda Carlson
If using these tiles outdoors they are meant as a temporary flooring as the vinyl surface may fade in the sunlight over time.
I am interested in the portable dance floor kit. What I am looking for is a floor that can be easily put together or taken apart to be stored so that my daughter can dance in our living room. Is this meant to be put together and left in one piece, or is it easy to break down into the individual tiles and stored?
Anonymous
The tiles can be left set up or can be taken apart and stored for later use.
What are the benefits of using this floor vs dancing on tile or carpet? Does it take pressure off joints the way a raised wood floor does?
These tiles are not specifically designed for pressure relief. Dance Floor Kits are a great portable dance floor solution for use at events as well as in the home for personal practice. It provides a flat, durable surface for several dance styles.
Hello, I want to put this in my garage for line and ballroom dancing with some friends. Possibly some hip hop. What would be best for about 15 people? My garage is big enough for 1 car and a motorcycle,
Lanesha Becton
The rule of thumb is ~ 9 sq ft per couple. So you would want a dance floor size of ~ 68 sq ft of larger.
I typically rent a 16 x 16 floor - can I purchase one that large? How is it stored? Is there a bag that it come with?
THanks!
Hilary Boucher
You can find larger dance floor sizes in our Practice Dance Floor Kits page.
can this be used outdoors as a dance floor on grass?
alex
The tiles work best with a subfloor surface that is dense, compact, and level so that the tiles can stay together.
Would you be able to put this on a shag carpet and install a pole on it? Asking because I just bought a pole and do not want to be rolling around on carpet.
Dayren
If the carpet is a shag, we recommend using a layer of plywood between the carpet and tiles. This would make it stay flat.
Can the dance floor kit have black and white tiles?
PAUL NESTEROWICZ
The dance floor kits are not currently available in black and white tiles. You may choose our Modular Grid Loc tiles for a similar look.
Hi - can you feel the gaps/ridges in between the tiles ie. does it feel 'seamless'.? We need the dance floor for ballet turns and ridges wouldn't work so well.
Thanks
Hannah
The tiles are not seamless.
We have just built a patio room with aggregate concrete for floor....will your floor kits work over exposed aggregate?
DIXIE
The flatter the subfloor surface, the better. High points can make it tough to keep the interlocking piece together.
What size dance floor would be appropriate for 30 guests?
The rule of thumb is ~ 9 sq ft per couple. So you would want a dance floor size of ~ 135 sq ft of larger assuming they would be all be on the floor at the same time.
Does the 3’ by 3’ floor come assembled with the black edging?
Our Dance Floor Kits do not come assembled. Assembly is required. With your shipment, you will get all the tiles that you need to complete your install. This would include the tiles and edging needed to create the dance floor kit in the size purchased.
Can I move this without taking it apart?
Rita Gonzales
If you have a smaller size dance floor kit, you may be able to move it without taking it apart. However, the larger you get the more difficult it will be to move.
Is this good flooring for practicing tap dancing?
Steve
Absolutely. The Dance Floor Kits provide a hard surface perfect for tap sound and performance.
if this is going on a hardwood floor does it have to have anything under it
lori
We would recommend putting some type of protection down when using this product as to not possibly damage your wood floors.
Can this safely be placed on top of carpet without damaging it?
Josh
Dance floor kits can generally speaking be installed and used just fine over a dense, low pile type carpet. Over a high pile carpet, We would recommend putting down some plywood board to make sure you have a sturdy foundation underneath the tiles and that they do not come undone.
What could I put under it to protect a vinyl wood look floor? How does it sound for tap?
Melanie Klar
These tiles are great for tap. You could put down a thin cushion pad of foam if you'd like.
Hi, how durable are these floors? Will this hold up with heels choreography and 8 inch stiletto heels for pole dancing? Thanks!
Yes, we have had many customers use these tiles for pole dancing.
I am looking for a tap floor to practice on with good sound. does this floor work for tapping? Is it portable enough to store away? I don't have enough space anywhere to keep it out. If not do you have any suggestions?
Gloria R Wallace
Our Dance Floor Kits are great for tap sound and they are portable for easy storage.
I bought a dance floor kit for my daughter for Christmas a few years ago. Am I able to purchase additional tiles to make the floor larger?
Deanna
Please see our Modular Grid-Loc Tile product page to purchase individual tiles.
I’m looking for a dance floor for our home. My daughter does a variety of dance styles (jazz, tap, lyrical) I’m debating between the portable dance tiles or the adagio rolls. Which would you recommend?
Dance Floor Kits or the Adagio Rolls are suitable for a variety of dance styles, so really either would work. You'll get more tap noise from the dance tiles since they are harder.
If I bought this to go over a builder grade low pile carpet and use it for a rolling desk chair, am I going to ruin it ? I'm thinking of buying some tiles for me to use and eventually turn them into dance floor for my daughter
Jessica
The tiles do have a vinyl surface that could potentially be damaged be continuous rolling over the edges. We'd recommend using a chair mat over top or possibly even getting a dance tile that is a solid color (doesn't have a glued on vinyl top).
Are the black tiles a similar feel to a Marley dance floor? Trying to decide whether to go this route or with marley instead. Need to install over carpet, so I'd obviously need some kind of tile system under the Marley anyway...
lindsey
The tiles are not finished with marley. The surface is a standard vinyl tile.
Can this dance floor kit be placed on top of a carpeted floor in the basement? My daughter needs this for home dance especially with virtual classes now due to COVID-19
Lisa Bergerac
These tiles can be installed over carpet with a sturdy, flat subfloor like a sheet of plywood or our dance subfloor tiles in between the carpet and the tiles.
Does it have shock prevention>?
It does not.
Can I put marley over this flooring and wear pointe shoes/ do ballet on it?
Lael
Yes you can use marley in addition to our Dance Floor Kits.
If I am not worried about color fade, will the dance floor kits work outside for 4-6 months at a time?
The only issue would be that since the wood surface is a vinyl print layer, it's possible that the adhesive could overheat in the sun and cause the vinyl layer to move around or detach from the base of the tiles. You can apply further adhesive as need be to keep the wood print layer down.
Hi, I attend an all women’s heels dance class and due to the COVID-19 we can’t meet but are doing online classes. Could I use my heels on this flooring? Thanks!
Yes this product would be suitable for hard / heeled shoes.
Can a car be parked on the tiles. I'm looking at putting it in my garage and we sometimes park a car in that spot
Yes you can, however you do run the risk of a hot vehicle undercarriage overheating the tiles and loosening the adhesive used for the wood look vinyl top piece.
Is this a good product for practicing ballet turns or would you recommend a different product? I see that you have more than one dance floor kit.
David Volkin
You can but keep in mind the tiles are not seamless.
Is this floor safe to use for pointe ballet?
These tiles can be used for pointe but be aware there are minimal seams between each tile.
I currently have luxury vinyl flooring in my bedroom. I understand that I must first put protection down when using this product as to not possibly damage my vinyl floors. What exact specific protection do you recommend I first place on top of my luxury vinyl floor before assembling the portable dance floor on top of the protection?
Hunter
You can use our foam dance subfloor tiles to protect the floor as well as add some acoustic value to your space.
Can a dance pole be installed on top of this flooring?
Danielle
Yes, we have had many customers use these tiles for pole dancing.

Rob
We would recommend putting some type of protection down when using this product as to not possibly damage your wood floors.
Would this work with a home pole set up? Or would the pressure of the pole be too much compressed on top of it?
Yes, we have had many customers use these tiles for pole dancing without any issues that we are aware of.
I would use this floor to do a ballet barre. I need some traction. Would this floor provide better than my wood floors (I am spilling a bit of water on wood for traction).
Wendy Jones
Our Dance Floor Kits have been used ballet, we also have several marley rolls that would provide great traction specifically for ballet.
Is the dance floor kit ok for ballet pointe work?
Krista B Calfee
These tiles can be used for pointe but please be aware there are minimal seams between each tile.
Can this floor be used and kept outdoors?
Wendy
These can be used outdoors for events. If using these tiles outdoors they are meant as a temporary flooring as the vinyl surface may fade in the sunlight over time and the adhesive may possibly heat up, causing movement of the wood look surface.
Could this be used on grass? And can you add more tiles to make a bigger dance floor
Kayla Brinson
These tiles can be installed on grass temporarily for events. Please contact us to extend your dance floor size.

Yes you would be able to do this easily.
Does the rubber bottom provide any cushion or spring when installed on concrete? Or would i need to put down a foam or other thick type underlayment?
These Tiles do not provide cushioning or spring. If you are looking to cushion or add spring to your dance floors, I recommend checking out our wide selection of dance subfloors found here (https://www.rubberflooringinc.com/dance-flooring/index.html#!filter=889)
I need a 24' x 24' dance floor. Could I just buy like two 10x10's and then a 4x4 and keep connecting the pieces to make a 24' x 24' square dance floor or is the max the 10'x10'?
