in reality, it’s one of the most boring countries i’ve ever been to
everything is illegal or requires permits

Kevin Bacon must be delighted.
Oi mate, you got a permit for thos’ sick moves you got ther’?
Oi, ya got a loicense for those moves?
Where do I petition for a permit to ask a permit?
>Sweden’s center-right coalition government wants to cut red tape when it comes to dancing by abolishing a decade-old requirement
Wonder why the radical-lefwingers before them did not do this. Probably they were awkward enough that they couldn’t dance :).
So for anyone not reading the article (ie every single one of you): it’s permits for *businesses*.
Ie, you don’t need a permit for dancing as a person. How would you even enforce that? You can do dance around outdoors in a park all you damn please, or indeed in your own home.
You need a permit as an owner of a *public* establishment if you want to have dancing on the premiss. Mainly it’s justified because of increased security concerns with people densely packed on dancefloors flailing about. Feel free to argue if the justification is good enough or whatever.
It’s the equivalent of a liquor license, essentially.
