    Until a couple of months ago it was illegal in Sweden for a restaurant owner to allow spontaneous dancing if they did not have a dancing permit. Since July this year they don’t have to apply for a permit but still have to notify authorities about arranged dancing.

      In Boston Massachusetts a bar needs an entertainment license otherwise patrons aren’t allowed to dance. Apparently they can be hard to get. I got yelled at once in a bar, but I don’t know what you expect people to do in a bar with loud music and lots of drinks
