The importance of
Texas Dance Halls
by Patrick Sparks, TDHP President
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 heritage of 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.
