Mirrors for dance studios

Consider the Building Regulations as they relate to the use of glass in the built environment. Note that they do vary across the UK. In Scotland, any glazing in doors must be TSG (Toughened Safety Glass, which will disintegate into crumbs if broken, not shards to inflict big cuts) or Laminated Glass. Any window glass below a specified height (about 1m, I can't remember detail) must be TSG or Laminated. Please also remember that sheets of glass big enough for your application will be extremely heavy (the supporting structure must be strong enough) and unweildy to handle, so I'd recommend specialist installation.

I have no idea who installed the glass at my old job, but I do know that when it broke it just hung there, I think it was laminated glass but it broke in 2 bits that stay togeather on the wall. I THINK with the issues they had removing it they used something like a flexable tile glue.

it is possible to use a plastic mirror, if installed they are just as good as glass, lighter and won't break. It is very important to get the sub frame and base strong and flat enough so as not to end up with something out of a fair ground.

You could try Gerriets, they have a range of mirror products from sheets to films that can be stretched over a frame.
