The Slop during the 1950s was just another name for West
Coast Swing being introduced on the TV Show 'Bandstand'. Pictured

1950s was 'At the Hop' by Danny and
the Jrs. A main part in the lyrics goes like:
"You...
can roll it, You can slop it, and
can stroll it at the hop, When the record starts spinnin' You
chalypso* when you chicken at the hop, Do the dance sensation
that's sweeping the Nation ... at the Hop".
During the 1960s gained some popularity as a solo couples fad
dance in Paris, France and then the USA.
