dance floor
Where couples waltz
A dance floor is the area in a club, ballroom, or other venue specifically designated for dancing, typically featuring a smooth, durable surface suitable for movement.
The term extends to any cleared space where people gather to dance, whether permanent or temporary.
The DJ kept the dance floor packed all night.
In casual use, it can refer to the social scene of dancing itself: She owns the dance floor.
