All Motion Entertainment dance floor prices include professional installation and collection. Some providers charge separately for these — always confirm before booking.
The most common mistake is hiring a floor that's too small. A packed, tiny dance floor looks great in photos but means most guests never get on it. As a rule of thumb, allow roughly 4–5 sq ft per dancing guest — and aim for 50–60% of your total guest count to be on the floor at peak time.
| Guests | Recommended Floor Size |
|---|---|
| Up to 60 | 12ft x 12ft |
| 60 – 100 | 14ft x 14ft or 16ft x 12ft |
| 100 – 150 | 16ft x 16ft |
| 150 – 200 | 18ft x 18ft or 20ft x 16ft |
| 200+ | 20ft x 20ft or larger |
The most popular choice for weddings. Thousands of tiny LED lights built into each panel create a starfield effect underfoot — striking in photos and genuinely dramatic in person. Works best in lower lighting conditions, which suits most wedding evening receptions perfectly.
Clean, contemporary, and highly photogenic. The white surface reflects coloured DJ lighting beautifully, so the effect changes throughout the night. A strong choice for modern venues, barn weddings, and events with a specific colour scheme.
A classic black-and-white chequered pattern — works especially well for vintage, Gatsby, Motown, or retro-themed events. Less lighting-dependent than starlit floors, so it looks great in fully lit rooms too.
