Q1How do you scope a project like this?
We start with discovery — a 20-minute call to understand the room, the run-of-show, and the look you're after. From there we do a site visit (or virtual walkthrough) to verify load-in, power, rigging points, and sightlines. That feeds an engineering document with fixture or panel counts, crew, transport, and any permitting. The fixed quote follows the engineering doc, line-itemed so you can see exactly where each number lands. No surprise add-ons after signature.
Q2How long does install and strike take?
Install runs 2 to 4 hours for a standard 16x16 ft floor with two techs. A 24x24 ft pixel-mapped floor takes 4 to 6 hours including content load and color calibration. Strike runs at roughly half the install time. We arrive the morning of the event or the evening before depending on venue access. Floors get leveled and tested before guests arrive, never improvised once the room is dressed.
Q3Can you do a custom logo dance floor?
Yes. We render a static or animated logo to the resolution of the floor and load it through the playback server. Single-frame brand marks, two-color monograms, and full motion graphic loops all work. Vector source files give the cleanest result. We confirm the logo on the floor during install and color-correct it to match your brand guide. Logo design from scratch is available as an add-on, scoped per project — static brand marks run lighter than animated loops.
Q4Can the dance floor be used outdoors?
Yes, with our outdoor-rated panels. They are IP54 sealed for light rain and dust, support direct sun without panel washout, and use weatherized power and signal connections. Indoor floors will not survive outdoor use — water on the seam edges shorts the panels and ends the rental. For a guaranteed outdoor build we require the outdoor-rated package, a flat compacted surface, and a covered weather plan. Hard rain forecasts get the show moved under cover or under tent.
Q5What are the power requirements for an LED dance floor?
Power draw scales with floor size. A 12x12 ft floor pulls roughly 1.5 kW peak — runs on a single 20-amp circuit. A 16x16 ft floor draws 2.5 kW and prefers a dedicated 30-amp circuit. A 24x24 ft floor pulls 5 to 6 kW and needs a 50-amp single-phase tap. A 32x32 ft pixel-mapped floor draws 10 kW and prefers a 100-amp single-phase or 50-amp three-phase company switch. We confirm the venue power capacity during pre-pro and add quiet generators if the tap is short.
Q6What size dance floor do I need for my guest count?
Rule of thumb: 3 to 4 square feet of dance floor per dancing guest, and assume 40 to 50 percent of guests dance at peak. So a 100-guest wedding wants a 144 sq ft floor — a 12x12 ft. A 200-guest event scales to a 16x16 ft. A 400-guest event scales to a 20x20 ft. A 600-guest brand activation or gala scales to a 24x24 ft. We pad up one size when the DJ runs a heavy-dance set or when the room is dance-floor-centric like a bar mitzvah or club night.
