TEXAS DANCE HALL PRESERVATION INC
HOUSTON, TX
Texas Dance Hall Preservation, Inc., (TDHP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas, dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Texas dance halls and the culture they represent. TDHP was founded in 2004 by Carolyn and Alan Edwards, in response to the rapid disappearance of Texas dance halls. As many as 4,000 such halls once existed in Texas, but by the time of TDHP's founding, only 800 remained.
TDHP works to preserve and protect Texas dance halls, as well as to promote their cultural significance. The organization's mission is to "ensure the ongoing preservation of Texas' dance hall heritage, and to ensure that the dance hall experience is available to future generations." The organization works to provide financial and technical assistance to Texas dance hall owners, as well as to raise public awareness about the importance of Texas dance halls.
TDHP also works to promote Texas dance halls through education and outreach. The organization hosts special events, such as the annual Dance Hall Preservation Tour, and produces a quarterly newsletter, Dance Hall News. The organization has also partnered with the Texas Historical Commission to create a statewide Dance Hall Trail and is actively involved in legislative efforts to protect historic dance halls.
Ultimately, TDHP seeks to create a statewide network of dance hall owners, musicians, volunteers, and supporters to help keep Texas dance halls alive. Through its work, TDHP hopes to ensure that Texas' dance hall heritage continues to live on for generations to come.
