Let RetroSparX spark your memory with Let’s Go to the Hop. Do you remember when teenagers flocked to their school gymnasiums for dances that were known as Sock Hops? Maybe you were among them, swinging and twisting to the latest rock ‘n roll tunes, or trying to master the steps of the most recent dance craze. It was a time of joyful indulgence for adolescents, when the peppy patter of stockinged feet against the school gym floor was drowned out by the biggest dance hits of the day.
