I am still concerned about the rigidity of the floor with you dancing on it. There are types of laminate flooring that lock together without glue (my floor is that type) but if your padding underneath has flexibility to it, it will crack and eventually break along those seams. Just be sure your padding is not spongy uder it if you go that way. Napoleon's suggestion of alternating directions of two layers would definately help. You want 8' by 8' so use four sheets of plywood, one pair going one direction and the other pair turned the other direction. Glue them together (you could use screws if you wanted to take it apart later on- just be sure you have them firmly together) and then top with either a single sheet of linoleum or use those peel and stick vinly tiles. Then place atop a fairly rigid pad of some sort. I think some sort of dense rubber would work. Cork would work but be expensive. Can you find a friend with a truck or van?
