Bunny Hop

It's time to add the Bunny Hop to your choreography!  We have fun doing a simple version of this dance.  Here's how we do it:  Standing, we do two R heel taps to the music and then two left heel taps, step forward, step back and hop, hop, hop (heel taps if they don't want to hop!)  If the stepping forward and back is too hard for your group, just do:  2 R heel taps, 2 L heel taps, 2 R heel taps and hop, hop, hop  Then 2 L heel taps, 2 R heel taps, 2 L heel taps and hop, hop, hop.  Continue alternating until the song is over!

Note for SilverSneakers Instructors

SS has recently clarified it's position on using Grapevines in their classes.  Grapevines are not a contraindicated exercise but are considered HIGH RISK.  If you have an advanced group that can do a grapevine correctly and not have to look down and up every time (hard with bifocals) the Benefit may outweigh the Risk.  You must assess your class every day and decide if this is a good choice for your whole group on that day.  Remember:  When in doubt - Don't do it!
