What is a sokkie?

2. A sokkie is when people get together,take off
their shoes and dance in their socks to the
beat of Africaans music.

3. South African pioneers in the 1800 would
stay on farms far from each other. Their
houses would have dung floors .To make
these floors hard people would throw
the dung onto the ground and dance on
it(they would sometimes invite their
neighbours to dance on it with
them.)They would dance until the dung
was hard and smooth. This was first
called volksdance but now called
sokkie.
