Sokkie is a style of music and dance unique to Southern Africa and popular mostly with Afrikaners. ==Sokkie dance== 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 American '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.〔First hand article〕 Sokkie is often viewed as the dance of love or, failing that, the dance of sex. Sokkie has been universally accepted as the sexiest of contemporary dances. Men who sokkie often have little trouble impressing their female counterparts. Loopdans, two-step, swing, boogie, social foxtrot or quickstep steps, are often danced together in sokkie.〔What is sokkie?〕 A boerewals, which is a viennese waltz is also danced as sokkie.〔Boerewals as a style of Viennese Waltz〕 Sokkie is not only danced to sokkie music, but can be danced to many music genres, for example hip-hop, trance, country and pop.〔What is sokkie?〕〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sokkie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
