dance floors

Where people groove

A dance floor is a smooth, open area designated for dancing, typically in clubs, wedding venues, or ballrooms.

The surface is usually hardwood or synthetic material that allows easy movement.

Figuratively, the dance floor represents social space where inhibitions loosen: She owns the dance floor, Let's hit the dance floor.
