Handy to know
Dance your heart out
You could say that Lilla Scenen/Polketten dates back to 1925, but that was on a completely different dance floor near what was then Lillköping. A folk dance group was based there and its traditional Nordic dances were soon a big hit. The following year, Liseberg built Lilla Scenen/Polketten as a venue specifically for traditional Nordic dances. Originally the dance floor had no roof, but was decorated all around with birch twigs.
Right from the start Lilla Scenen/Polketten was a popular success, and has remained so ever since. In those days a dance token cost SEK 0.10 and each dance lasted three minutes. The popular Spelmanspojkarna, who played dance music every evening of the week, even used an hourglass to time the length of each tune.
