Bayou Bedlam 2012

In 2012 we will feature David Kaynor calling to The Retrospectacles from Washington state. Here they are closing out the 2010 NW Folklife Festival.

Bayou Bedlam 2012 will take place Presidents' Day weekend, February 17-19, 2012.


What's Bayou Bedlam?

Bayou Bedlam is the Houston, Texas weekend of contra dancing, food, and friendship. It takes place every February and features nationally known bands and callers.

Every Bayou Bedlam features a Friday night dance, various workshops during the day on Saturday, a Saturday buffet lunch, a Saturday night dance, and a Sunday brunch and dance with an open mic and open band.

Bayou Bedlam is produced by the Houston Area Traditional Dance Society. For information about HATDS, the regular contra dances in Houston, or contra dancing in general, see the HATDS web site at hatds.org.

For a list of the other dance weekends in Texas and Oklahoma, see the dance weekends page on hatds.org.
