A 100-Year Old, Historic Texas Dance hall nestled among live oaks

Schneider Dance Hall

Put simply - our venue is rustic, Texan, humble, and the perfect place to transform for the party of our lives.

Schneider Dance Hall was built in the 1920’s and operated by the four Schneider brothers. The hall closed in 1941 when two left to fight in World War II. The raging war limited the number of men available to attend dances. Eventually, the dance hall reverted to a storage barn until recently. It is still owned by the same family.

A Texas Tradition

Between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, Texans built as many as 1,000 dance halls across the state.

Some were little more than four wooden walls and a tin roof standing out in a field (pretty much where we're at). Others were massive multisided Victorian structures painted in gem tones, or handsome brick buildings on city streets. Typically built and used by ethnic groups, such as Germans, Czechs, Irish, Tejanos, and African-Americans, they served as family-friendly gathering places for music, dancing, and social occasions. 

Good to know...

Don’t wear stiletto heels! You will have to walk in the grass. There is no HVAC, but we will have heaters as needed and there is covering in case of rain.

We are going for an “adult prom” barn party - think disco balls, stars, sequins, and an old-school vibe under the live oaks and night sky.
