The the name says it all. A tad weird but kinda cool. For those English folk. The store name refers to the below Sokkie dance is a style of social ballroom dance with a partner. It is also referred to in Afrikaans as "langarm", "sakkie-sakkie", "kotteljons" and "Water-pomp". Similarly to the US 'Sock Hop', sokkie, meaning ‘sock’ in Afrikaans, refers to the way young people dance sokkie in their socks and often barefoot. Sokkie dancers in nightclubs mostly wear shoes and dress smart casual.[1] By some, sokkie is viewed as awkwardly intimate, slightly sweaty and odd. In general sokkie is also merely a sock.
