- iTune in to some music at your sock hop. Take note that the fifties are all about
rock and roll. While the kids will be just as happy dancing to Taylor Swift, your
sock hop party should feature some of the classics. Look for"The Ultimate Rock
& Roll Collection of the 50s" and other greatest hits from the Fabulous Fifties in
MP3 collections.

At the Hop (swing/jitterbug), Rock and Roll is Here to Stay (Jitterbug Variations),
Jailhouse Rock (Elvis inspired line dance), Willie and the Hand Jive (Hand Jive),
and The Twist!
- If you don't want to hold a dance, then throw your sock hop at an ice skating
rink or make it a roller skating party.
Sock hop party decoration ideas

- Records: You might still be able to search thrift shops for old vinyl albums that
you can hang from the ceilings with fishing line. Or spread vinyl records directly
onto the tables for a sweet touch. Here are some party decor ideas:
- Record pinata.

- Here's how to dress the birthday girl for a sock hop: Girls will love to dress up for a
sock hop. Get out those Tutus and use them for petticoats. Get out the curling
iron and curl big curls for a pony tail that's super bouncy. While Amazon has the
best party supplies for a sock hop, you'll want to hop on over to ETSY.com for
the best poodle skirts, and costumes. Visit the Hip Hop 50s Shop. Quality
poodle skirts, cat eye glasses and more.
- Here's how to dress the birthday boy for a sock hop: Boys are easier. Turn him into
a greaser! You can start with blue jeans and add a white T-shirt that you roll up
with candy cigarettes in the sleeve. It's harmless fun and gives an authentic
look. Just be sure to tell your kids how bad it is for your health to smoke
cigarettes and explain that back in the fifties, no one knew it was bad for your
health. Next add a vinyl leather jacket, and be sure to grease up his hair and
add some saddle shoes. Costumes are available, left. Otherwise, turn him into
an early Elvis to have the girls swooning over him.
