It's time to get out of the city for your next adventure!
The Dance Hall Road Trip offers you a ride back in time to see where Texas music began. Visit the small rural communities that built, nurtured, promoted, and have passed along their traditions in the way of historic dance halls, many of which are now over a century old. Along the way we will learn some history, have a cold beverage or two, stop for some delicious food, and try to squeeze in a little bit of dancing before the day is through.
PRICING
Trips are made to your group specifics. We can make sure that as few as 5 people or as many as 300 get the same quality experience. Once you decide on the size of your group, we can find transportation that fits your party and budget.
