Performances are also often held on cruise ships. </p><p>Several dansbands are named after their lead singer (whose name is sometimes shortened), followed by "<i><span title="Swedish-language text"><i lang="sv">orkester</i></span></i>" ("orchestra"). The tradition originates from the old <a href="https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dansorkester" class="extiw" title="sv:Dansorkester">dance orchestras</a>, often named after their <a href="/wiki/Kapellmeister" title="Kapellmeister">Kapellmeister</a>. The possessive suffix "s" is often replaced by "z" in dansband names. Some dansbands are named after earlier members. </p><p>The main audience for dansband music is middle-aged adults. The music is often performed live by the bands at venues where the main interest of the audience is dancing, rather than watching the performance on stage.

Romantic dansband lyrics are reminiscent of pop, where the singer declares his or her love for the person being sung to, but are often more focused on growing old together and living together until one of them dies. The Norwegian dansband <a href="/wiki/Ole_Ivars" title="Ole Ivars">Ole Ivars</a> has also, with much humour, written lyrics that are more about society than traditional dansband lyrics. </p><p>The lyrics are often in <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a> in Sweden, and in <a href="/wiki/Norwegian_language" title="Norwegian language">Norwegian</a> in Norway. </p><p>In the 1990s, special "dansband songwriters" broke through, among them <a href="/wiki/Lasse_Holm" title="Lasse Holm">Lasse Holm</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gert_Lengstrand&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gert Lengstrand (page does not exist)">Gert Lengstrand</a> and <a href="/wiki/Torgny_S%C3%B6derberg" title="Torgny Söderberg">Torgny Söderberg</a>.
