If so, it's counter-intuitive.  Anyway, they asked us to delay mopping the dance floor until one hour prior to performance, so that it would still be "not damp, but not dry, either."  I've heard of mopping with a coke solution to increase traction (we will not be doing this) but I've always believed the pre-show mopping of the Marley was to get it clean, not to deliberately moisten it for better traction.
