Landing, Plateau, Dance Floor, Dance Hall
noun
While a dance location can be a location in which you dance, this word actually means landing (as in, a landing between two flights of stairs on a staircase) or plateau (as in, for example, a plateauing economy) most of the time. While the meaning has changed over time to mostly refer to landings on staircases, it can still be used to mean dance hall or dance floor, although loanwords like ダンスホール are more commonly used these days.
