Sokkie is a style of dance that is unique to Southern Africa and popular mostly with Afrikaners.
Loopdans, two-step, swing, boogie, social foxtrot or quickstep steps, are often danced together in sokkie.
The emergence of a particular style of commercialised sokkie-music[5] in recent years is of particular note[citation needed].
Examples of artists are Kurt Darren,[6] Nicholis Louw, and Juanita du Plessis, among many others.
Nicholis Louw even used the ringtone Blue Horizon from a Sony Ericsson cellphone for the tune of his hit song - Rock Daai Lyfie[citation needed].
