The Stretching Dance (Teletubbies Dance)

**The Stretching Dance** is a dance that the Teletubbies do. It was first shown in the episode Making Bread.

## Plot

The Teletubbies are all standing behind some hills. One by one, they stretch their arms and legs out posing like a star. Then one by one, they get down on their knees, walk forward and stretch their arms up high. Then all together, they walk backwards, spin around, side step to the left and right, bend down and stretch up high. Then all walk in a circle, stretching their legs and have a Big Hug. Then they walk down the hills, all the way down to the front of the house. They proceed to do the same dance again and have a Big Hug. Then they leave the house and walk up to some more hills and do the same dance one more time. Then they have a Big Hug and the dance ends.
