What sort of metal dance mats should I get?

Yeah, it comes with four poorly cut rectangles of 3M Safety Walk material.

I really don't feel like it's doing anything to prevent slipping. Might be better on carpet, but I have relatively new wood floors and it's sliding up to a foot during some tracks.

I'm headed to Home Depot in a few minutes to figure out a better solution.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the feedback. I'm ordering a cobalt flux pad today. (its been years since I played DDR seriously). since being at college, and living on the top floor with women underneath, they didn't like stomping, and the year before is when my old metal pads broke.

Thanks again!

AMphibious, you could just get some of your own non slip matting. Else you could get a small rug. My pad weighs 20kg and doesn't slip too much on my bedroom rug, doesn't slip at all on the non slip matting underneath. The by itself IS slippery as hell though.
Failing that, try getting some rubber feet. You'd need a fair few, else the pad would depress into the floor and the sensors would bend and break. I'd say about 5 per square to keep the pressure even.

And der nalia, why didn't you invite the women upstairs to play with you? haha
