How to Build a Dance Studio For Under $65

Build your own at home dance studio using easy to find supplies. All you need is $65 and a day to spend building.

Supplies:
Mounting Tape -

* Please note that I have not personally tested the 3M Mounting Tape "Indoor" version, but it seems to be designed for painted drywall and can hold the same amount of weight. In the video, I used the "Clear" version. Let me know in the comments if anyone has successfully used the "Indoor" 3M Tape.

To calculate the amount of tape you will need, multiply the # of mirrors you are using * 4lbs, then multiply this by 4 inches (the tape holds 1 lb per 4 inches). Ex. For 9 mirrors you will need 9 * 4 * 4 = 144 inches of tape.

Cost (in 2019):
Mirrors - 9 x $6 = $54
Mounting Tape - 2 x $5 = $10
Total: $64

Time: 8 hours

As a word of warning, if you plan to remove the mirrors in the future, you will need to soften the tape with a hair dryer to help minimize damage to the wall. However, even when doing this carefully, it's possible the paper on the drywall will tear.

This has always been my dream! I promised to myself that I'm gonna create a multi-purpose studio (for singing, dancing and workout) if I could buy my own house. I mean it's not just good for leisure and hobby, it's also beneficial for my overall health so it's really an investment! Meanwhile I would have to finish this hell aka med school lol

This is exactly what I was looking for! I want to turn my office into a dance studio and wasnt sure if I could remove mirrors from the frames nicely

Excellent. My daughter has been asking for this setup and the studio mirrors are upwards of $300. We showed this to her and she was very happy with the idea so we are already heading to Target to put this together. Thx again-

Awesome ! Just took my $500 home studio mirror down to AFFORDABLE! Now I have money to use on the flooriing.

yas! so creative, this is exactly what I needed. I didn't want to spend $100s on trying to get the big fancy mirrors at the gyms. I have no problem with a little elbow grease and effort to get this. Thank you so much!

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! I’m turning my bedroom into a home gym and was not looking forward to spending hundreds on wall mirrors but was bummed that I wouldn’t have them so you just made my imagine come to life thank you so much and will credit you in my home gym video for this 🧡

I ended up doing this and it's great so far, my only fear is if i ever have to take them down i'd probably have to break the mirrors bc the hold is so strong. but these are never falling off the wall that's for sure

[KorieStyles]

i will be doing this in my new apartment!! LOVE

[antoinette]

I have one of these mirrors from target, actually shows with good quality. I really admired the time and dedication you took to do this, amazing!

[emahlee.]

i also did this with my mirror but the edges are sharp and i cut my hand pretty bad so just be careful if you do do this!

[marriageloosenthenoose]

Step 1: Have a home :D
For real though, this is cool

[tentenonmymind]

i thought if doing this but i thought it was stupid... you changed my mind!

[Ladylack]

Great idea! Be careful the mirrors break super easy. Make sure all the glue is removed before handling.
