1950's & 1960's Dances
Why were they called sock hops?
The reason these high school and college dances were called sock hops is that the kids were required to take their shoes off to avoid scuffing the gym floor. The hard rubber soles on shoes could easily mark up expensive gymnasium floor. It seems that an inordinate amount of time in every school was spent protecting those gym floors!
Hope to see you all there...
