bunny hop

Easter animal's movement

A bunny hop is a small jump performed with both feet together, mimicking how rabbits move.

Children do bunny hops in games and exercises.

In cycling, a bunny hop lifts both wheels off the ground simultaneously to clear obstacles.

The term also names a group dance where participants hop in a line, hands on the waist of the person ahead.
