Dance moves on a dance floor are not the typical dance steps that are listed on the DANCE verb page. These dance steps can only be executed on a designated dance floor/ballroom area, many while grouped with a partner.
Standard Ballroom
Standard ballrooms can be found in numerous Cooperative Houses of Elanthia as well as Meeting Hall Organizations. They are also available for rent via the CHE and MHO systems as well as boutiques that rent party equipment.
