Herräng Dance Camp 2020 is cancelled
Dear dancers throughout the world,
We hope that you are all safe, healthy and coping with the extreme circumstances that this pandemic is causing. For the past couple of weeks, we’ve left no stone unturned looking for a way to proceed with the camp this summer despite the devastating consequences of the pandemic. This situation has left us with no options except for hoisting a white flag and surrender.
It is with heavy hearts we hereby announce that, after 38 continuous years, we have made the drastic and sad decision to cancel Herräng Dance Camp 2020. Our hope is to come back stronger than ever in 2021. And that’s where you come in: we need your help!
We are in urgent need of financial support. Those of you who have been to Herräng Dance Camp know that every summer we basically build an entire village including accommodation, restaurants, dance venues and more. This requires continuous financial investment including a small staff that works year-round planning, procuring, building and more. It is a costly operation and a big risk we take every year in the hopes that revenue from the event will cover our costs. It doesn’t always work out that way and now we find ourselves in a financial crisis which can lead to a loss of all the infrastructure needed to organize future events.
Everyone involved in running the camp is donating their time and effort, doing their best to help save the event. You can also help save this honorable swing dance institution by making a donation to our crowdfunding campaign.
If you have already paid for this summer's event, please find more information here.
Despite the current situation, we are determined to continue to be a positive force and we hope to see you, our dance family, next year under better circumstances on the dance floor under the midnight sun in Herräng.
Please take care, with love,
Frida, Daniel and Lennart
