A survey conducted by Svenska Dansbandsveckan themselves shows that the event last year generated SEK 70 million in sales in the town. Sales come mainly through retailers, restaurants, accommodation, activities and transport.

In connection with Dansbandsveckan, 250 jobs are created before, during and after the week itself, something that the town will miss this year.

Many local associations and companies conduct some form of activity in connection with the event. Malungs IF is one of the organizing associations and usually has, among other things, camping and food sales.

See how they are affected in the clip.

The corona virus has put a stop to the dance band week and virtually all dances throughout the summer.

We now wonder what do you miss about the dance? - Write and tell!

Keep dancing at home so it will be calm and nice here in Malung.

I miss all the dance venues that were in Malmö. There they danced to good dance music. Now there are none left here🤔

There has not been much dancing this summer but the few times we practiced it has actually gone better than ever. On the one hand you have had more space (sometimes a whole dance floor for yourself) and can experiment and take the turns more, on the other hand you do not have to dance to old-fashioned dance band music, rockabilly, country or sterile kizomba music but choose the music yourself. (I am one of those who think that more renewal is needed in the dance band industry. More complexity. In with new influences from the 80s onwards.) Has supported several bands and dance venues financially - it is important that the zealots who support it endure.

If you want to see public intercourse, it is Malung that applies during a July week. Put the shit down !!

Have been there once, witnessed sex completely openly among adults both orally and vaginally. Never again I put my foot there.

Well, I also miss Dansen because I had planned to visit Lilltorpet in connection with Blender playing on Thursday, July 2, in 2020. But now it did not happen then. And that because of the Cororan now then. But now I am investing in Year 2021 instead
