In order to plan the allocation of rooms and space for various levels and kinds of dancing, it is necessary to allow sufficient space for the activity.

The following space standards were used for the Canadian National Square & Round Dance Convention in Ottawa in 1998 and were found to work well.

• Square Dancing    Each square dancer is allocated 12.5 square feet (100 square feet per square), except for a
                             wheelchair dancer who is allocated 25 square feet (200 square feet per square).
  
  
• Round Dancing     Each round dancer is allocated 50 square feet (100 square feet per couple)
  
  
• Clogging              Each clogger is allocated 16 square feet.
