Tap the tiles together over any hard, flat surface and you are ready to dance in under an hour.
Lay your tiles over any hard, flat floor and sweep the area clean first so nothing sits trapped under the surface.
Tip · Carpet and uneven subfloors can flex the joints, so choose the firmest surface you have.
Dry-lay the 12 in by 12 in tiles to map your dance space, then decide where the outer edges will land before you lock anything together.
Line up the interlocking edges and tap each tile into its neighbor by hand or with light foot pressure until the seams sit flush.
Tip · Work in rows from one corner outward to keep the grid square.
Walk the floor and press down any joints that feel raised so the vinyl surface stays even underfoot.
When you are done, lift the tiles apart at the seams and stack them flat for storage until your next session.

Most setups take about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of your space. One to two people can handle the job comfortably, and it is beginner friendly.
Yes. The tiles are designed to tap together, take apart, and store flat, so you can set up for practice and pack the floor away as often as you like.
