What's an inexpensive way to create a dance floor on plywood surface?
I have an un heated or cooled room above the garage that I want to use to practice dance. I don’t want to spend a lot because this is just a family hobby. The floor is currently just builder grade plywood.

Hi Diana, I know they sell roll out dance mats and have dance floor kits that are fairly inexpensive. I also found this Pinterest page that might be able to help you: https://www.pinterest.com/explore/outdoor-dance-floors/
I would measure it out . Then I would go to home depot , Lowe's , lumber liquidators...and look for something on clearance , a peel and stick tile or plank , plan on getting a little extra . Always good to have a few extra time , just in case ... I would definitely stay away from ceramic tile , for three reasons , #1- it is very heavy and the structure might not have been built to handle the load bearing weight. #2- if someone falls on ceramic it will hurt !!! #3- you said it is not heated, the file will keep it very , very cold . Good luck ! Get idea to have an area that the family can enjoy together !
Maybe a piece of linoleum would do. I’m talking about the commercial real linoleum, not vinyl flooring. Or linoleum squares. Try Menards or Home Depot. Get a good wax on it and buff till shiny? I’m no dancer, but I’ve slipped and slid on a shiny linoleum floor 😊.
A very inexpensive way to go would be to purchase 4X8 sheets of melanite (sp) and glue them to your plywood. I believe they could even be waxed if you desire something more slippery.
Hi Diana,
Do you know what kind of floor you want? My first thought was laminate which can be pretty inexpensive but also look good. It is also easy to install.
