Want to know how to rake the yard without killing your back? You have to do the raking dance! The trick to any good dance is to stay close to your partner at all times. When you want the rake to move to the left, make sure your feet move with it. When you want to rake to slide across the ground, your body glides sideways, as well. When you want to rake to get to a particular leaf, you have to move your feet to reach the spot instead of using your arms and leaning with your back. Before you know it, you’ll be dancing across the whole yard and all the leaves will be all piled up. Enjoy the video to see how easy and fast it can be! Happy raking!
