The Round and Round Dance (Teletubbies Dance)

**The Round and Round Dance** is the one of the dances that the Teletubbies do in the show. It was first shown in the episode Owl Babies. The Teletubbies do this dance outside the house.

## Plot

Tinky Winky dances around Dipsy, Dipsy then dances around Laa-Laa, then Laa-Laa dances around Po. All the Teletubbies then line up and spin round and round together, Tinky Winky spins on his own and then they all spin round and round the house and the dance ends.
