Safety hazards in a room
-
Tripping
watch out for obstacles that could be in the way: shoes, coats, etc.
-
uneven floors:
in some older buildings the floors have ridges and waves in the floor boards. Be careful of tripping or catching feet in little slits between older floors.
-
Space
need space to not kick others and, if someone stumbles, there is enough time for the people nearby to move out the way to avoid injury.
ideally you need 6 square metres per person. 2 and 1/2 metres by 2 and 1/2 metres (lower if they are children)

Sight
when dancing, it isn't reliable to be watching someone else who is watching the teacher, hence you need space.

Heating:
usually should be around 14 degrees in the room, if it gets too hot a stroke could occur in severe cases.
be wary of the extreme changes in winter: coming in from the cold and straight away having the room boiling hot: could cause shock. And summer, you have no control of the heat so make sure to have extra water breaks and don't push people too hard.
lack of air/ventilation:
if there are lots of dancers and then a lack of ventilation, there will be a lack of oxygen causing fainting in severe cases.
skylights: a good source of air along with doors being open at the end of the room to let air flow right through.
lighting:
people need to be familiar with the space before doing a dance in the dark. Once they are, then dim it down
