  • The Bunny Hop is a novelty dance that was created at Balboa High School of San Francisco in 1952. It is a social dance mixer, sometimes also referred to as a "party" or "dance party" dance.

    The dance has been generally done to Ray Anthony's big band recording of the song. Ray Anthony's single release of the "Bunny Hop" featured another novelty dance classic, the "Hokey Pokey" on the B side.
