Dansband, or danseband in Norwegian and Danish, is a Swedish term for a band that plays dansbandsmusik. Dansbandsmusik is often danced to in pairs. Jitterbug and foxtrot music are often included in this category. The music is primarily inspired by schlager, country, rock'n'roll and some swing. The main influence for rock-oriented bands is the rock music of the 1950s and 1960s.
Kikki Danielsson broke through with Wizex in the 1970s.
From the late 1970s until the late 1980s, disco music and nightclubs became a major competitor to dansbands in Sweden.
Lotta Engberg scored major dansband successes in Sweden during the rebirth of the genre between the late 1980s and the early 2000s, at first with the band of her former husband and later with her own band.
