They move their arms and hips from side to side and up and down. They each move one foot out and turn around. Laa-Laa and Tinky Winky dance together and so do Dipsy and Po. The they move their arms and hips again but Tinky Winky and Dipsy are facing away from the camera, but then they turn around and they each sit on the ground and make their beginning noises and they all jump. Dipsy starts jumping and moving his arms and then the other Teletubbies do the same. Then they all move around doing their own little dances.

## Trivia

* This dance does have an extended version where the Teletubbies dance again, but there is no key change.
* In My Dad's a Tram Driver, Dominoes, Rubber Ducks and Uh-Oh! Messes & Muddles, the scene of Po inside the house is cut out.
* In My Dad's a Tram Driver, Urban Pictures and Rubber Ducks, the Teletubbies sound different and their bottoms make no sound at all.
* In Little Baby, Rollerblading, Making Kebab and Uh-Oh! Messes & Muddles, after the dance is over, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po run over to Tinky Winky to celebrate, but the celebration is cut short when the Magic Windmill spins for the TV event. The Teletubbies stop celebrating and turn to look at the windmill. Then they turn back to the audience, say "Uh oh!", and head to the hill for the TV Event.
