The Falling Down Dance (Teletubbies Dance)

**The Falling Down Dance** is the one of the dances that the Teletubbies do. It's like Ring a Ring o' Roses. It was first shown in the episode Drawing Cacti. The Teletubbies do this dance right beside the Windmill. This is one of the shortest dances.

## Plot

The Teletubbies dance round and round some flowers but then they fall over and get up, they dance around the flowers again and fall over again, they get up again and dance around the flowers one more time and they fall over one last time and the dance ends.

This dance doesn't have an extended version but it does have a music key change at the end of it.

## Trivia

* The Falling Down Dance is filmed all in one shot.
* The Teletubbies are never silent during this dance. Every time they fall down, they say "Whoa!" or "Whee!" and sometimes "Uh oh!", and burst into laughter. Then when they go to do the dance again, they always say "Again, again!"
* This is the second dance where Tinky Winky has his bag for some unknown reason, the other dance is the Walking Dance.
