Micke Ahlgren, singer of Micke Ahlgrens, says that no support presented fits the dance bands, which often consist of two companies - one for salary and one for operation.

He is therefore worried that the 500 million promised to the cultural sector will not benefit the dance bands.

The open letter sent to the Minister of Culture has been signed by Donnez, Skåningen, Martinez, Fernandoz and all of Sweden's orchestras, among others. The signatories are worried about not being present when the corona crisis has taken over.

“There comes a time when the Corona crisis is behind us. Until that day, the industry needs support. Otherwise, the social dance and dance culture will completely disappear, ”they write.

Check out how you are affected

Culture Minister Amanda Lind (MP), writes to the Culture News:

“The whole cultural life has been affected by the spread of the corona virus, including the country's dance bands. That is why I presented a crisis package a couple of weeks ago ”and continues:

"I really want to urge anyone who is worried about looking up how they are affected by the government's support measures, because they are to facilitate as many people and businesses as possible in these challenging times"
