How to Hop in Step Exercises

"This repeater I call the hop around. It takes a lot more agility, a lot more stability, a lot more balance work, so practice this several times before you perform it in class. We're going to perform the repeater in an 8 count move. Actually, with a reverse hop turn. I'm going to step on 1, lift, 3 taps, and exit. Watch the counts. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Again, that's 6. Knee lift on 6 helps up lift our body up and to step down on the ground. It's step, lift, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. With the music you don't hear the grinding. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Step, hop, tap. 3 taps to get around. You can see how it increases the intensity. I'm adding a lift step, which is called a propulsion, and movement around the step as well. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It's really fun. Use your arms to get yourself up and around. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That's our hop around repeater."
