How Much Does a Portable Commercial Dance Floor Cost Over 5 Years?

Illustration d'un homme plongé dans ses pensées devant une piste de danse

Le coût est-il le facteur le plus important to consider when buying a portable dance floor for your property? That depends on how you define “cost.”

Here’s the thing—the Piste de danse MityLite Magnattach® is not the cheapest portable dance floor on the market. Yep! We just admitted that. But, before you go… let’s look a little deeper.

This blog will show how the total cost of ownership (TCO) for a commercial dance floor encompasses more than the sticker price. But when you consider the cost of labor, maintenance, and replacement costs, that lower-priced portable dance floor can cost you much, much more in the long run. 

When it comes to total cost of ownership, the Magnattach will save you 50% to 90% in labor costs. Plus, the floor will not scratch, dent, or warp, which means you save on maintenance and replacement costs as well.

Total cost of ownership for a portable dance floor in the first 5 years after purchase

If you buy one of the leading, low-price, screw-type portable dance floors, you’ll probably pay about $7,500 upfront. That probably looks a lot better to your budget than the $20,000 average price for a premium snap-and-lock dance floor like the Magnattach.

But looking beyond that initial purchase, you need to account for what you’ll pay your crew to set up and break down the floor before and after every event you host. Don’t worry—we did the math for you. The charts below show what you’d pay if your facility hosted 4 events every month that require a 20’ X 20’ dance floor, assembled by a crew making $20 per hour.
