    I always loved the idea of these. My grandmother told me a story once from one that she attended when she was young. Apparently someone played a prank and somehow nicked some of the students shoes so a good majority of them were heading home at the end of the hop in there socks!

    Do you know why they were sock Hops? Because the gym teacher wouldn’t allow shoes on the gym floor...... lol.

    My grandma met my grandpa at a dance and they still remember teaching my mom how to dance like this. Wish dancing nowadays was this fun. Also watch the Andy Griffith show, they have a lot of this style dancing

    Great to see young people attempting to keep this wonderful era of rocknroll dance alive - but please get your years of origin correct. Some of us are still alive and we lived and breathed some of these dances. Loved them and still do. Get out rocknroll dancing when I can.

    Also that is not Lindy Hop, that’s rock n roll which was 50, Lindy Hop has triple steps 6 and 8 count and from 1930s to 1945 ish

    We didn't do the wave.....that was the 60's. The reason for the socks was we had dances in the gym and it was to protect the floors.

    • @prasehim6447
      @prasehim6447 2 роки тому

      They called it Lindy Hop, but it's not. It's more like Single Step Swing - a very basic version of East Coast Swing from the 40's. Not a 50's dance.

  • @rasbypowell8529
    @rasbypowell8529 3 роки тому +13

    clearly done by people who didn't bother to distinguish the 50s from the 60s.

    Worst stab at a 50s outfit ever, Blake. You win the Men In Tights prize. The Lindy Hop was NOT a 50s dance.

    • @williamnair1991
      @williamnair1991 3 роки тому +2

      It was in the '40s, we did the BOP in the '50s somewhat like the Lindy Hop.

    What a waste of time!!! I grew up in the 50s in the home of Soul, Blues and Rock n' Roll known as Memphis, TN. You know, the home of ELVIS, greatest entertainer ever. We danced the Bop, the Stroll, the Cha Cha, the Chicken but NOT what you were doing. You need to do better research because you're in the wrong decade!!!🙄🤦
