Introduction
When it comes to planning an event, the dance floor often serves as the heart of the celebration. At Anything for Hire, we understand that hiring a dance floor involves more than just selecting the right size and style; it’s also about safety and ensuring a memorable experience for your guests. In this guide, I'll share some top tips for hiring a dance floor that looks great and meets safety standards.
Key Considerations
Before you make a booking, there are several factors to consider to ensure you choose the perfect dance floor for your event.
Size
Choosing the right size dance floor is crucial. You want to ensure there's enough space for everyone to dance comfortably. As a general rule, allow 2 to 4 square feet of dance floor space per guest. For example, if you have 100 guests, aim for a dance floor of at least 200 to 400 square feet.
Type
Think about the type of dance floor that would best suit your event. Options include wooden, LED, and vinyl dance floors. Each type offers a unique aesthetic, so consider the theme of your event when making your choice.
Location
The location of your event will also impact your dance floor choice. Indoor events might have different requirements compared to outdoor ones, especially in terms of stability and weatherproofing. Make sure to discuss any specific requirements with your hire provider.
Safety Tips
Safety should always be a priority when hiring a dance floor. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
Installation
Ensure that the dance floor is installed by professionals. A poorly set-up dance floor can lead to accidents. Check that the surface is even, stable, and free from any obstructions.
Maintenance
Ask your hire company about maintenance procedures. Regular checks and cleaning can prevent slips and falls, ensuring a safe dancing environment for all your guests.
Insurance
It’s wise to check whether the hire company has insurance coverage. This can protect you in case of any unfortunate incidents during your event.
Styling Your Dance Floor
A dance floor can significantly influence the overall atmosphere of your event. Here are some tips on how to style it effectively:
Lighting
Incorporating vibrant lighting can enhance the look of your dance floor. Consider using LED lights or spotlights to create a dynamic environment that encourages guests to hit the dance floor.
Decor
Decorate around the dance floor to complement its style. Use elegant drapes, floral arrangements, or themed decorations to create a cohesive look that ties in with the rest of your event.
