The Tip Toe Dance

The Tip Toe Dance is one of the dances that the Teletubbies do. It was first shown in the episode Larette Tap Dancing.

Plot[]

The Teletubbies arrive down at some flat hills. They start tapping their feet. They step sideways left and right, they turn clockwise and then anti-clockwise. They wave their arms sideways and turn round and round again. Then they wave their right arms up and down and then they wave their arms in the air and step forwards and then they walk backwards and they pose and cheer and the dance ends.

This is one of the few dances that has an extended version with a music key change. The Teletubbies rarely do the extended version.

This dance has 3 different versions:

The shortened version with the Teletubbies posing.
In the extended version with the key change, the Teletubbies dance again.
The 1st version is shown in the series when the Teletubbies pose and then turn round and round again with the key change.
