Second idea: It maybe more expensive and/or more work then you want, but you could put down a masonite floor. With a similiar problem of doing theater in an historic building we put down a temporary floating masonite floor. First we put down a layer of plastic. Strips off duct tape between the sheets held everything together. Then we fit it between walls, the procensium, anything that would give it structure and keep it from slipping. There is no screwing into the floor or attaching to the walls. All sets are free standing. We did become masters at doing that. Anyway, it works great. We haven't seen the real, very polished, very pristeen wood floor underneath for a long time. Every other year for an historic tour everything has to go back to its original state. The floor was in tip top condition. We label the masonite so we can put it back down again. It's a thought.

 

Good luck.

TennTeacher, we found it at Menards...and believe it or not, two of my students went into the store to plead our case, and they came down to 20 cents per square foot.  Then, I said, "Yes, let's do it!" And then Menards did not have enough of the turf in stock, so all the effort was wasted.  Go figure!!!   On the flip-side, we would have had to alter a couple dance moves if we went with the turf because there are parts where they slide....wouldn't want rug burns - Ouch!!!
