Our Mission
Texas Dance Hall Preservation is committed to
saving historic Texas dance halls and the
authentic music and culture that is still found in
them.

We accomplish this mission by:

Developing informational programs to promote
public awareness and use of Texas dance halls as
living venues for community assembly, music, and
social dancing.

Keeping an inventory of all traditional dance halls in
Texas, both extant and lost.

Documenting and publishing the history of Texas
dance halls, individually and as a collection of
resources, for the purposes of education and
outreach.

Serving as a clearinghouse for information that can
facilitate the preservation of Texas dance halls.

Providing assistance to list dance halls on the
National Register of Historic Places or to complete
grant applications for preservation projects.

Providing financial, technical, or organizational
assistance for the restoration, rehabilitation, and
preservation of historic dance halls.
