Midsummer Dance is an 1897 oil on canvas painting by the Swedish artist Anders Zorn.

After living abroad for several years, Zorn and his wife Emma moved back to Dalarna in 1896.

The traditional Midsummer celebration had diminished in the Dalarna because of the religious revival that has emerged since the mid-19th century.

My farmhand, dear Verner, was in charge of raising the maypole on the stroke of midnight on Midsummer night.

Once it was up, a reel was played and people danced hand-in-hand around the maypole and the yards in an endless snake of youngsters.
