How to Make Your Own Dance Pad

As many dancers know, the mood to dance can strike at any time. Unfortunately, a dance floor is not always present when the mood is. More portable than a dance floor, a dance pad can be rolled up when not in use. Once it is made, the floor can be carted around in a vehicle for surprise rehearsals or left in the closet for an impromptu dance party.

Things You'll Need

• Vinyl flooring sized to your needs
• 3/4-inch thick carpet padding, same size as vinyl flooring
