The sock hop was an informal sponsored dance at American high schools, typically held in the high school’s own gymnasium or cafeteria. The term sock hop came about because dancers were required to remove their shoes to protect the varnished floor of the gymnasium. These hops were a cultural feature of the 1950s and early rock and roll. The music was usually records, sometimes presented by a disc jockey. We are going with our dancing friends. Please join us!
