Does anyone have experience contra dancing on a Luxury Vinyl Plank floor?
We’re looking at a hall that would be suitable otherwise. I’ve danced there once (Irish
Sets, not contra) and it dances well, better than tile, not quite as good as wood, but I
wonder about the floor’s durability standing up to repeated swings in the same contra
lines.

What's under the LVP? If it's over concrete it will be very unforgiving on
people's knees, though if it's over plywood and joists it should be fine.
I've seen LVP in high-traffic commercial venues and it seems to stand up to
that fine.

Hi Steve,
As already noted, the subfloor question is important.
Contra dancing is pretty hard on floors/finishes.
My prediction is LVP will have a fairly short life if regularly danced on.
A proper wax finish might help extend the life.
Wearing away bits of vinyl into the air doesn't sound like a good thing
to be breathing, but
maybe no worse than some of the high-tech finishes often used on wood
floors.
Thanks and good health, Weogo

All in all, still a better option than pandemic-era grass, concrete, and black top….
