Wedding Dance Floor Sizes
For weddings, a 12’x12′ dance floor is suitable for small to medium-sized weddings.
Studio Space Configuration
- Useful spaces like office, bathrooms, and hallways should be feasible but kept as small as possible.
- Dressing room areas should be sufficient for changing students.
- Storage areas should be adequately organized and hidden from sight.
Flooring and Space Size
- Laminate flooring is cost-efficient for start-ups and can make the studio stand out with various designs.
- Different dance styles require varying amounts of space; portable ballet barres can help accommodate more students.
- Professional dance studio flooring should ideally be hardwood for its high performance.
Space for Dancing
- The studio size must accommodate 100 square feet per student, or 4,800-5,000 square feet if used as a performance space.
