The importance of
Texas Dance Halls
by Patrick Sparks, TDHP President
Texas dance halls are about
family, history, romance, and a
way of life. And if you've never
danced in one, you are really
missing out.
Texas is known throughout
the world for its music, culture,
and character. We owe much
of this legacy to one singular
aspect of our heritage - the
Texas dance hall. No other
place on the planet has this
heritage, produced as it was
by the mix of diverse
immigrant cultures on the
southwestern frontier.
At one time there were a
thousand traditional dance
halls in Texas. Many of those
are already lost, and the ones
that remain are at risk.
Our dance halls are the most
Texas thing there is. We can't
lose them.
