I’ve already written a few pieces about the incredibly complicated bureaucratic measures that are king in Sweden. Well, as it turns out I knew nothing about it at the time. Here comes more and I don’t know if I’m all that much surprised. From the local news outlet:

Revellers frequenting venues where music is played are best advised to consult with the landlord before making any sudden movements. Should the bar lack a special dancing licence the owner may wind up in trouble with the forces of law and order.

“If somebody begins dancing at a place that doesn’t have a dancing licence, the landlord is obliged to immediately turn down the music and stop the dancing,” police spokesman Christer Ohlin told newspaper Södermalmsnytt.

Read the whole piece (in English) here and watch those hips of yours while in Sweden.
