Imagine poodle skirts, saddle shoes, leather jackets, and a killer rock n roll playlist. That's all you need for a classic sock hop party!

Did you know that sock hops started in the 1940s as a way to raise money for war relief efforts? They quickly became a popular way for teens to dance and have fun. And the name "sock hop"? It's because kids were encouraged to take off their shoes to protect the school gym floors.
