Somewhere she and Elizabeth Warren will get together and do a traditional Indian Rain dance.

Elizabeth wants to be a soul sister first! :-)

Well, a ‘sock hop’ dance meant just that - dancing with shoes off.
These dudes are wearing sneakers. Which were not worn to dances in 1955. Not on Long Island, NY. Mostly penny loafers and saddle shoes were worn by everyone.
The clothes on the female in the photo was nothing like the clothes I wore and saw in 1955! We didn’t have slacks like now. Maybe ‘pedal pushers,’ now called capri’s. Oh! and ‘dungarees!’ (Jeans or Levis nowadays).
The clothes on the males in the photo are ‘any era’ identifiable. Except the tees are kind of wimpy.
Now, a Junior or Senior Prom brought out great clothing and shoes! And fancy hairdo’s.
