Our 3rd double-length episode starts with our Dancing Saviors Dora and Boots dancing, because today is a new special day after the musical Pirate Adventure and the Fairytale Adventure,
as well as the great carnival samba parade of helping Diego find Linda the Llama with the baskets of music and goodies to save the day! (Note that this will be the final time we see Dora's star pocket in the series of production order.)
"¡Hola,
soy Dora!"
(Go, Boots!)
"And I'm Boots!"
"Boots and I
LOVE
to dance!" Speaking of which, she has a question about this. That just happens to be…
"Do YOU like to dance?"
(Feel free to share your thoughts!)
"Dora's a great dancer!" said Boots.
"Aw, Boots!" Dora said.
And speaking of Dora's dancing... "One time, Dora used her dancing (power) to save Swiper the fox!"
(Indeed! This means Swiper is now a hero of joining us this time after he was the guard of Treasure Island in the last musical adventure, thinking he would steal the treasure as we stopped him, as well as his absence from the time to wake up Sleeping Boots.

"Do you wanna hear the story?"
Boots does, too!
"Tell it, Dora! Tell it!" he said.
Okay, here's the story...
"Well,
once upon a time,
there was a magic bottle."
(Narrating): "Trapped inside the bottle was a little Dancing Elf."
(Narrating): "But he didn't have
enough room to dance
in the bottle,
he wanted to get out!"
I'm trapped inside this bottle,
but I gotta dance
I wish that I could get out
then I have a chance
to spin, and jump, and sing, and dance, and leap, and twist, and shout!
I need someone to let me OUUUUUUUT!!!
(distant whistling)
Here comes Swiper!
It’s a fox!
The elf has a plan. He was going to trick him from letting them out.
Cane predicts that if they go out, he will go in.
Swiper found a magic bottle.
"And there's a little elf inside!"
The elf begs him to let them out. "PLEASE! Let us out!"
"Aww, Poor guy! He's stuck in there!
Swiper decides to save them
"Thank you!"
Please open the bottle and free us quick!
I told you that fox would be easy to trick!
"Oh, boy! We really fooled him!" said the Cane.
Swiper opens the bottle...
The elf gets out,...
But unfortunately...
Swiper gets pulled in! It's a trap!
Now Swiper is in the bottle!
And the elf and cane are free!
I’m out of the bottle and I gotta dance
I’ll jump and I’ll spin if you give me a chance!
It’s great to be FREE!
It’s great to be ME!
I got room to dance, dance, daaaaaance!
"I’m trapped! I’m trapped!!"
"Oh, yes! I forgot to tell you.
You did a good thing,
but I did a bad one, 'cause..."
I got out, so you went in
We got out, so you went in
We got out, so you went IIIIIIIIN!
Do-do-do-de-do, do-de-do-do
DO! Do-do-do-de-do…
(Now he's saying his catchphrase without snapping his fingers.)
"Ohhhh,
MAAAAAAN!"
"I need
help!" said Swiper in distress.

"Maybe Dora and Boots can help me!", he said of his perfect plan.
"DORA!
BOOTS!!
HELP!!!"

"Oh,
man!"
Dora and Boots hear Swiper's distress call.
Swiper in distance: "HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!"
"That sounds like
Swiper!" gasped Dora.
"He's calling for help!" said Boots.
"Do you see Swiper?"
Here he comes!
"Where?!"
"In the bottle?!?"
"DORA!" Swiper called.
"Swiper, what happened?!"
(What's wrong?!)
(What's wrong?!)
"I let the dancing elf out of the bottle,
and now I'm stuck in here!"
And what's worse:
"He TRICKED me!" he added.
She feels bad for him as a frenemy. "You poor fox", said Dora sadly.
(He's in trouble! Get Diego!! Somebody get Diego and Alicia!)
(He's in trouble! Get Diego!! Somebody get Diego and Alicia!)
"What a MEAN elf!"
They decide to find a way to get him out.
Dora struggles to open the bottle...
.png "Swiper Got Trapped In The Bottle 1-47 screenshot (1).png (235 KB)")
But Swiper stops her!
And she asks why.
.png "Swiper Got Trapped In The Bottle 1-54 screenshot (1).png (196 KB)")
Thus, he gave her some bad news of a warning:
"If you open the bottle,
you’ll go in.” he explained.
(Oh, no. We can't have others using the same fate of yours for this. It can't go on like this!)
(Oh, no. We can't have others using the same fate of yours for this. It can't go on like this!)
"That wouldn't be too good." said Boots. So Swiper did the right thing.
"Oh." moaned Swiper.
"I'll never get out of this bottle."
Swiper doesn't like being in a bottle.
Swiper wishes he could get out.
"I wish, I wish, I WISH!" he pleads.
A face appears!
Look! The bottle's coming to life!
One big wish! Un deseo!
One big wish?!
Cierto! The bottle says that they have to get one big wish to free Swiper.
He really wants it!
"Where do we go to get the one big wish, Mr. Bottle?" asked Boots.
"In the castle!" the bottle said.
Really? "The castle?!" they all wondered.
The bottle is not lying, if they can make it to the king's castle, they’ll get the one big wish.
One big wish, un deseo
One big wish!
A wish, a wish, a wish!
You'll wish for one big wish
That’s bigger than a
lollipop
or sticks of licorice
Just one big wish!
To the castle right away!
We'll dance along the way!
We’ll wish a wish for someone else to brighten up their day!
Aww! (He thinks the “someone else” could be him.)
With one
big wish
One big wish
One big wish, un deseo
One, big, wiiiiiiiiish!
Swiper feels excited!
"Let's go to the castle!"
But there's one one problem: they don't know how to get to the castle.
They have to find out how to get there or he’ll NEVER get out of that bottle!
(So what are we supposed to do?)
(So what are we supposed to do?)
"Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?"
"Map! Good thinking!"
Say, "Map!"
Here he is! Say it!
"I think you have to say it louder." said Swiper, seconds later.
All right, up he goes! What's the quickest way? There's only one way to find out! Let’s see what he says…
Map is ready to dance his way to work!
"OH, NO!" he said. "That mean Dancing Elf trapped Swiper in a bottle! Poor fox!"
"OH, NO!" he said. "That mean Dancing Elf trapped Swiper in a bottle! Poor fox!"
We have to DANCE to the castle so we can wish Swiper free with one big wish!"
To get to the castle, first, we have to go through the pyramid.
Next, we go across the ocean.
And that's how we'll get to the castle!
(fanfare plays)
So remember: Pyramid, Ocean, Castle!
So tell Dora, Boots, and Swiper, first, we go to the pyramid!
![[Note that this is the final absence of the Picture Pop-Up Sequence all together before the next double-length episode will see its return.] "Where do we go first?" Dora asked.](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2021-10-12-15h35m12s370.png "Vlcsnap-2021-10-12-15h35m12s370.png (406 KB)")
[Note that this is the final absence of the Picture Pop-Up Sequence all together before the next double-length episode will see its return.]
"Where do we go first?" Dora asked.
"Where do we go first?" Dora asked.
"The pyramid, right!"
Do you see the pyramid?
Yeah, there it is! Is it on:
The first path,
the second path,
the third path,
Or the fourth path?
Fourth!
The fourth path, right!
And Swiper can see it right there!
"You got good eyes!"
But it’s far away!
Do you see anything they can take to get there fast?
There’s Tico in his airplane!
Hooray for Tico!
"Tico, ¿nos puedes llevar a pirámide?"
Con mucho gusto!
Come on!
We've got to go win one big wish
and wish Swiper free!
"YEAH!" said Swiper.
VAMONOS!
LET'S GO!!
Say it with us!
Pyramid,
Ocean,
Castle!
Pyramid,
Ocean,
Castle!
Pyramid,
Ocean,
Castle!
Pyramid,
Ocean,
CASTLE!
Come on, vamonos!
Everybody, let's go!
Come on, let's get
to it!
I know that we can
do it!
What do we need?
(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!)
One big wish!
What do we need?
(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!)
One big wish!
What do we need?
(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!)
![[They all say it instead of the Fiesta Trio.] One big wish!](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2021-11-21-17h01m24s110.png "Vlcsnap-2021-11-21-17h01m24s110.png (234 KB)")
[They all say it instead of the Fiesta Trio.] One big wish!
¿Que necesitamos?
(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!)
ONE BIG
WISH!
And then I'll be free!
Look!
There’s the pyramid!
"¡Gracias, Tico-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!"
"¡De nada!"
Wheee!
Whoa!
Wheeeee!
He's heading towards a sleeping goat!
The goat woke up!
Dora explains to the goat that they need to go through the pyramid.
Ooh! Go through the pyramid?
Whoo! Tsk-tsk. That’s hard!
Many brave explorers tried to find their way through the pyramid, but they couldn’t!
That's not good news!
('Tis true. The Latin American Legend says that the Greatest Explorers from the past were using their weapons like swords, guns and bows with arrows to fight against the wild animals inside the pyramid as a trap and they tried to survive before their death as it became a great failure! They were the best before Dora, after all.)

The goat decides to help.
She thanks Mr. Goat.
The goat doesn't want to be thanked yet! "Don't thank me yet!"
It's so dark! How will they be able too see?
Swiper has a flashlight!
He found it in the bottle (it is unknown how, but he must be lucky that he had it in his pocket.)
They cheer for him.
It's the red Marching Ants!
We're the marching ants, we're the marching ants, and we won't let you by til you
Dance our dance, dance our dance!
March, march, march, march, march, march, march! We're the marching
marching
marching
marching
ants!
Dora realizes now! To get through the pyramid, they have to march like the ants!
Swiper wants to march like the ants!
"You have to stand up to march!"
"Stand up!"
Now lift your knees and march, march, march! Pick up your knees and march, march, march! Lift them up high and march, march, march, march, march, march, march!
We're marching,
marching,
marching like the ants!
Yay! Good marching!
Look! It's the spiders!
And they're wiggling their long arms!
We're the Wiggiling Spiders and we mean you no harm. But we won't let you by 'til you wiggle your arms!
Wiggle your arms, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!
We're the wiggling, wiggling spiders!
Now they have to wiggle their arms like the Wiggling Spiders! Can you wiggle your arms? Great!
They're the Wiggling Spiders and they mean us no harm. But they won't let us by 'til we wiggle our arms!
Wiggle your elbows!
Wiggle your wrists!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle! Wiggle like this!
It's fun to wiggle
like spiders!
Good wiggling!
SNAKES!
Oh, we're the Sneaky Snakes and we won't let you by. 'Til you dance like us and we slither and slide! Slither and slide, slither and slide! We're the sneaky, slide, and slithery snakes!
Now they have to slither and slide like a Sneaky Snake!
Put your hands together to make the snake's head with your hands!
Now hold your hands really tight and move them side to side to slither and slide!
Oh, they're the Sneaky Snakes and they won't let us by. 'Til we dance like them, and we slither and slide! Slither and slide, slither and slide, slither and slide, slither and slide!
We're slithering just like the snakes!
YAY!
Great marching, wiggling, and slithering!
You’re really good at dancing!
And look!
The pyramid is opening!
A fountain!
They made it to the top!
Look!
Everything is growing!
It's beautiful!
"HOORAY FOR DORA, BOOTS, AND SWIPER!" cheered the Goat Family.
Down he goes!
A BIG slide!
WHEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEE!
That was fun! (Good sliding)
The Fiesta Trio popped out of a flower.
We made it through the pyramid!
"Hey, Dora?!"
"Yes, Swiper?"
I REALLY wanna get out of this bottle!"
"Don’t worry, Swiper!"
"We have to figure out where to go next!"
"Say, 'Map!'"
ZOOM! What will he say this time?
We danced through the pyramid, check! Where do we go next?
The ocean, right!
So tell Dora, Boots and Swiper: That next we go to the ocean!
"Where do we go next?" she asked.
Come on! Tell them!
Come on! Tell them!
"The ocean, right!"
Do you see the ocean?
There it is!
But there are THREE paths!
To get to the ocean, do they take the path that's rojo (red),
amarillo (yellow),
or morado (purple)?
Yellow, amarillo!
The yellow path, right!
Come on! We have to hurry!
The Elf was watching.
"I can’t believe it!"
"She got through the pyramid!"
They got through the pyramid, but you will see. They'll cross the ocean with difficulty!
OHHHHHHHHHHH…
They got through the pyramid,
but I will see.
They'll cross the ocean with difficulty!
"Come on! We'll stop them at the ocean!"
"We gotta get all the way to the ocean!"
Look, there’s Isa!
She’s got a bike built for three!
Isa tells them that she will help them get one big wish.
"You came just in time!"
HOORAY FOR ISA!
Right, Swiper! Helmets!
So they can be safe!
One big wish, un deseo! One big wish!
One big wish, un deseo!
One big
wiiiiiiiiiiiiiish!
"What a ride! Thanks, Isa!"
"Don’t worry, Swiper, you’ll get out of that bottle!"
We made it to the ocean! But we need a boat!
Do you see a boat?
There's the Pirate Piggies!
But they don’t see them!
Help Dora call them! Say "Yo, ho, ho!"
LOUDER!
YO-HO-HO!
"DORA! BOOTS! My old pirate buddies!"
"Look me hearties, it’s Dora and Boots!"
HOORAY!
"And look, Swiper is stuck in that bottle! WHY are you in that bottle, silly fox?"
"I’m trapped!"
"Awww, poor fox!"
"Poor fox!"
Boots explains that they need to cross the ocean to win one big wish and wish Swiper free.
"Well, what are you waiting for?! Climb aboard!"
YAY!
Come on, mateys, let’s go!
Off they go!
We've gotta get across this ocean!
"So we can win one big wish and wish me out of this bottle!"
Giant waves! YIKES! Hang on, me hearties!!
Whoa! These waves are getting BIG!
"Aye, the ocean is rough sea, mates! And it's filled with lots of water!"
Look out!
"OH, (screaming) MAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!"
Oh no!
"Fox... OVERBOARD!!"
SWIPER!!!
Uh-oh!
Something's coming out of the water!
Do you see what it is?
What is it?
A WHALE!
"Mr. Whale! CAREFUL! You’ll swallow me!"
But the whale didn't pay attention. "Huh?"
"I don't think the whale
hears Swiper."
"WHOOOOOOOOOOA!!!"
(Oh, no!!)
"YIKES!"
"He SWALLOWED him!"
(echoed) "Oh, man…!"
"Dora,
What are we gonna do?!"
.png "Saving Swiper From the Whale 0-16 screenshot (1).png (270 KB)")
But then, someone has piperine for irritation...
(Backpack sneezing) Bless you, Backpack!
.png "Saving Swiper From the Whale 0-17 screenshot (1).png (232 KB)")
Gesundheit! (That's a German word, by the way.)
"Something in here is making me sneeze!"
(sneezes again) Bless you, Backpack! (again)
.png "Saving Swiper From the Whale 0-22 screenshot (1).png (214 KB)")
"¡Salud, Mochila!" (That means "Bless you, Backpack!")
"Hey! I got an idea! If we can make the whale do a really BIG sneeze, he'll sneeze out Swiper! Backpack has something inside that’s making her sneeze!"
(And now, we can keep saying her name in English after one-time adventure of saying in Spanish!)
YOU have to say, "Backpack!"
YOU have to say, "Backpack!"
(Say "Backpack!" Say "Backpack!")
LOUDER!
(LOUDER!! BACKPACK!!!)
(LOUDER!! BACKPACK!!!)
(sneezes loudly)
Something here is making her sneeze!
She reviews all the items (in clockwise order). She has a raincoat,
a pair of socks,
a comb,
a banana,
a yo-yo,
and some pepper.
Which one of these items could be making Backpack sneeze?
Maybe…the pepper?
The pepper, right!
(she sneezes once more) At least it's gone!
She shakes some pepper.
AAAH…
AAAAAAH…
AAAAAAAAH…!
The whale is starting to sneeze!
Let's help him make a
really big sneeze!
Say...
"AH
CHOO!"
Even BIGGER!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
…AAAAH
CHOOO!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
"I…GOTCHA, Swiper!"
Are you okay?
"Phew! I'm okay! It was fun! I've NEVER been sneezed by a whale before!"
YAY!
Come on, me hearties! Let’s get across the ocean!
Uh-oh! It's getting gray! And cloudy!
AND DARK!
AND WINDY!
YIKES!
Uh oh! It's a big stormy storm cloud!
(yelling)
That stormy storm is blocking our way!
I'm the stormy storm
and I live in the sea.
But I won't let you through so easily!
To get past me,
there's only one chance:
You have to do the Pirate Dance!
"To get past the storm, we have to do the Pirate Dance!"
"The Pirate Dance! That's our specialty!"
Dora loves the Pirate Dance!
Will you help do the Pirate Dance with Dora and company?
"Muy bien!"
"You have to stand up to do the Pirate Dance!"
"Stand up, please!"
"Stand up, me harties!"
"You can't dance right when you're sitting down!"
Whoa! Hold onto your hats!
Get ready!
"You do what I do!" she instructs.
Rock your body side to side! Rock, rock, rock!
Come on, rock your body!
Rock your body!
Rock, rock, rock, rock!
Rock, rock, rock, rock!
Now...
Swing your elbows way up high! Swing, swing, swing!
Swing your elbows! Swing your elbows!
Swing, swing, swing, swing!
Swing your elbows! Swing your elbows!
Swing, swing, swing, swing!
Now...
Clap your hands! Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!
Jump real high! Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump!
Yo, ho, ho, ho, we're doing the Pirate Dance! Yo, ho, ho, ho, we're doing the Pirate Dance!
Come on, let's all do the Pirate Dance!
Rock your body side to side! Rock, rock, rock!
Swing your elbows way up high! Swing, swing, swing!
Clap your hands! Clap, clap!
Jump real high! Jump, jump!
Yo, ho, ho, ho, we're doing the Pirate Dance!
Yo, ho, ho, ho,
we're
doing the Pirate Dance!
Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho, we're doing the Pirate Dance…OOH!
"GEE! You are great pirate dancers! Okay, you can go by!"
Dancing really was a pleasure,
so I'll giving you some pirate treasure!
Whoa! This chest looks familiar! It's the same design and color from our pirate adventure to recover the costumes of Dora and her crew for the pirate play!
YAY! TREASURE!
WHAT?!
"I don’t see any treasure! All I see is a fox!"
A FOX?!
(Shrieking)
(Bro, the Magic Bottle is not perfect of using as a spotting scope!)
(Bro, the Magic Bottle is not perfect of using as a spotting scope!)
Boots finds it for him.
Ooh!
Treasure, treasure, treasure! We love treasure!
Here it comes!
Let's see what's inside…
What is this?!
WOW!
Party hats!
Cake!
Streamers!
Goody bags!
It's a Pirate Party! Yo-ho-ho! HOORAY!
The elf is speechless. "I don’t BELIEVE it!"
"They got past the stormy storm!"
"And they had a pirate party, too!
"We've got to stop her or you will see…"
"She'll get one big wish and wish Swiper free!"
They feel a song coming on!
We’ve GOT to stop her
or you will see!
They'll get the wish and wish Swiper free!
And if he gets out,
then we'll go in!
(Whoa! Looks like dancing on the boat is really unsafe!)
If he gets out, then we'll go in!
If he gets out, then we'll go
iiiin…
WHOA! (They went overboard!)
They’re getting wet!
If he gets out, then we'll go
IIIIIIIIIN!
![[Back at the party ship…]](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2021-11-21-19h17m05s719.png "Vlcsnap-2021-11-21-19h17m05s719.png (383 KB)")
[Back at the party ship…]
"I’m going to have more pirate cake!"
WAIT! WHAT?!
How in the world did they get in the cake?! Sneaky trio!
Swiper is jealous that he didn't get any cake!
He really wants to get out!
Boots says they will get him out.
"Right, Boots!"
"We have to figure out where to go next!"
"Say 'Map!'"
Let’s see what he has to say!
We danced through the pyramid, check! We danced across the ocean, check! WHERE do we go next?
The castle, right!
![So you tell Dora, Boots and Swiper: Next, we go to the castle! [Note: By production order, this marks the end of the "Bonus Map" format before returning to the picture pop-up sequence in the next special.]](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2022-09-13-23h45m07s714.png "Vlcsnap-2022-09-13-23h45m07s714.png (341 KB)")

(Hey! The party stopped!) "Where do we go next?" they all said. Go ahead and tell them!
"The castle!"
Do you see the castle? (WAIT! It's behind those clouds!)
That's better! NOW do you see it?
There it is!
"LAND…HO!"
Dora explains where they’re going. They have to hurry to the castle.
"No problem!"
"Come on, piggies! Let’s sail to the castle super fast!
Off they go!
Pirate Pig got splashed!
"The castle, me harteys!"
They thank the pirates.
"Good luck!"
We made it to the castle!
"Now we can win one big wish and wish you free, Swiper!"
Swiper is excited!
But how are they going to win the one big wish?
(fanfare plays)
It's the castle guard!
Maybe he knows how we can win one big wish.
"Ladies and gentleman, the royal dance contest is about to begin!"
"The winner of the dance contest will be giving un deseo grande! One big wish!"
"The dance contest! Dora, we have to dance to win the wish!" They feel confident.
So does Swiper! "We can do it! Come on!"
Let's go!
HALT!
"Where do you think you're going with that bottle?!"
"We want to win one big wish
so we can wish our friend free."
Swiper waves
"Well, you are NOT going in the castle dressed like THAT!" Well, is there a dress code?
Looks like there is! He sees a couple wearing fancy clothes and he accepts them.
(HUH?!)
He only accepts people in who wear fancy clothes.
So that means…
"You have to wear FANCY clothes! King's rules!"
Dora tries to argue with him. "But --!"
"NO BUTS! Fancy clothes, or you're NOT going IN!" said the guard in a strict manner.
Oh no! Not the elf!
As expected, the elf makes fun of them. "They'll NEVER get fancy clothes!" We'll see about THAT, Elf!
Cane makes fun of them as well.
"Come on! Let's go inside and win the big wish for OURSELVES!!!"
Back down they go.
Do-do-do-de-do, do-de-do-do-do! Do-do-do-de-do, do-do…
Boots, along with Dora and Swiper, is VERY upset. "What are we gonna do?! We don’t have fancy clothes!"
(fanfare plays by surprise) "LET THE DANCE CONTEST…BEGIN!!" (Oh, dear!)
Boots is even more nervous and upset. "The contest is starting! WE'RE GONNA MISS IT!!!"
Swiper can feel the pain. "But, BUT!"
"You GOTTA win one big wish,
so you can wish me free!"
Dora tells him they promise they can get him out.
(Let's stop and think…)
(taps her)
"Do we have a plan?!"
"ASK FOR HELP!"
"Let’s see…"
Boots remembered that Tico helped,
and so did Isa!
Who else can they ask?
Benny the Bull!
Help them call out to Benny. Say, "Benny!"
"BENNY…?!"
Louder! "BENNY…?!"
Do you see him?
"BENNY!"
He says hello.
He also said he is here to help Swiper get one big wish…
which Swiper appreciates. "Thanks!"
Dora explains the situation about fancy clothes…
…and they need them fast!
So she asks to make sure Benny has any fancy clothes with him.
"Hmm…I don't know. I've got lots of stuff in here."
"Let's see…"
He has his scuba gear,
a volleyball,
mittens,
his pajamas,
a donut?! "For later…!"
Benny was pretty sure he had a bowtie around here. Let's help him make sure…
(Look at all those things!) Can you find a bowtie for Boots?
This one over here?
Yeah! There's one!
"You look handsome, Boots!"
"Now Boots is dressed up fancy, but what about Dora?"
Do you see any fancy clothes for Dora?
That gown?
"Hey, yeah!"
"Dora, we found a gown!" Benny cried out.
Dora's all dressed up!
"Wow, you look pretty, Dora!"
"Thanks, Swiper!" (Dora appreciates what he said)
"Come on! We better hurry!"
"Good luck in the dance contest!"
Let's hope
he accepts them this time.
(How about THAT, castle guard?)
"¡Muy bien!
That's more like it! Right this way!"
(laughs) Now they can go in!
"The very silly King Juan el Bobo." one of the trumpeters announces.
Here he comes with his funny slippers! "¡HOLA! Welcome!" he said.
"As you can see, in honor of the dance contest, I have to put on…
…my dancing slippers!" (WAIT! Those are the wrong footwear!)
"(clears throat) Um, King Juan el Bobo?"
Those aren’t dancing slippers, those are scuba flippers!
"¡¿QUE?!" He just realized his mistake.
(laughs)
"Oh, well!"
He decides that he can live with it. "Never mind!
Let the dance contest begin!"
"This is it! The big dance contest! I’m gonna need your help!"
"To wish Swiper free,
we need to win one big wish!"
Suddenly, they hear their friends. Are they joining and are they wearing fancy clothes to meet the requirements? "Psst, Dora! Good luck!"
(Benny, Isa, and Tico ARE wearing the right clothes!)
"Good luck!" said Benny.
"¡Buenas suerte!" added Tico.
"¡Buenas suerte!" added Tico.
King Juan el Bobo has to reiterate something. "Remember, whoever wins the dance contest will be granted…
one big wish."
(all cheering)
(Oh, this crowd is ready tonight!)
(Oh, this crowd is ready tonight!)
Cane has some reassurance. "Don't worry!"
"The way you spin, you're sure to win!
The way I spin,
I'm sure to win!
Just watch me
spin!
Watch him spin!
The way I spin,
I'm sure to win!
Just watch me spin!
Watch him SPIN!!!
He's knocking people down!
Be careful there!
We're doomed, guys!
Wow, what a spin!
"Ooh, that Elf's MEAN!"
"But he sure is a good dancer."
(heralding trumpets play fanfare) OH, It's about time that it begins! The competition is on! We're ready to root to our rescuers for Diego and Alicia!
"To win the dance contest,
first you must do my favorite dance...
The Ants in Your Pants Dance!"
The Dancing Elf knows that dance! Watch!
Don't let these bums let you dance their fight, Dora. You're the best! You're the best!
"Come on! We have to do the Ants in Your Pants dance!"
"Come on! We have to do the Ants in Your Pants dance!"
Help them dance! Dance like you've got ants in your pants!
Ready? (Go Swiper! Rhythm and power. Ritmo y poder. Keep those heels up!)
![[For fun, Dora sings for everyone while they dance to make it both a song AND a dance.] Dance, dance, dance, you've got ants in your pants!](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2021-11-21-19h49m44s395.png "Vlcsnap-2021-11-21-19h49m44s395.png (327 KB)")
[For fun, Dora sings for everyone while they dance to make it both a song AND a dance.] Dance, dance, dance, you've got ants in your pants!
Wiggle your hips, you've got ants in your pants!
That's how you dance when you've got ants in your pants!
(song/dance ends)
"(laughs) OH! That was very good! (Laughs again)"
The elf is going to tell the King.
"Well, do I win the one big wish?"
"Hmmm…
you danced very well,
but so did EVERYONE!"
Unfortunately (for the elf)… "So far,
there is NO WINNER!"
The elf gets angry! "OH! That's RIDICULOUS!!!
I was the BEST!"
"Yeah! HE was the BEST!"
He calms them down. "¡SILENCIO!"
"To win one big wish,
next you must dance
like a fish!"
![[The King can’t believe he’s saying this. He laughs hysterically while the contestants do it]](/wiki/File:Vlcsnap-2021-10-12-15h55m12s072.png "Vlcsnap-2021-10-12-15h55m12s072.png (306 KB)")
[The King can’t believe he’s saying this. He laughs hysterically while the contestants do it]
Come on! Dance like a fish!
Like before, she makes it a song and dance at the same time. Make a fish face and flap your flippers, flap your flippers,
you're dancing like a fish! (The Elf is alarmed!)
Make a fish face
and flap your flippers, flap your flippers, you're dancing like a fish!
(song/dance ends)
"(laughs hysterically) ¡Excelente! What great fish dancing!"
Results are… "You are all so good! I STILL can't pick a winner!"
The elf gets even more infuriated. "WHAT?!?!?!" he screamed.
Oh, well… Let’s listen for further instructions….
"In order to find a winner…
I'll give you the HARDEST challenge of all!"
"You must get my mommy to dance!"
"OH no! I'm NOT dancing!!"
"This going to be muy difícil!"
"My mommy NEVER dances!"
"WHY won't you dance, Mommy?!"
"I'm JUST NOT GOOD AT IT!" What?!
(laughs)
"OH, that's SILLY!"
"EVERYONE can dance!"
As luck would have it...
Everyone can daaaance!
"The bottle!
It's singing again!"
Everyone can daaaance! Everyone can daaaance!
"That's a GREAT idea!"
"We can do
the Everyone Can Dance Dance!"
"YEAH!" said Boots.
"That dance gets
EVERYONE dancing!"
"Even the king's mommy
can dance
You have to stand up to dance! Stand up please, stand up!
Now get ready
to dance!
Everyone can daaaance!
Everyone can daaaance!
Everyone can
daaaaaaAAAAAAANCE!!!
MERENGUE!
¡Baila, baila!
Put your hands on your hips,
shake, shake, shake.
Hands on your hips, shake, shake, shake!
Everyone can dance!
WHOO!
Even the Elf is dancing!
Arms up front, and clap your hands.
Arms up front, and clap your hands!
Everyone can dance!
Now stand up straight,
and jump, jump!
Stand up straight, jump, jump!
Everyone can dance!
It's the Everyone Can Dance Dance! The Everyone Can Dance Dance!
Come on, take a chance and daaaaance!
WHOO!
¡Baila, baila!
The Everyone Can Dance song has made it clear to me,
that trapping Swiper sure was wrong.
And now we're really sorry!
The Elf is really sorry, the Elf is really sorry, the Elf is really sorry!
"Yeah!"
¡Baila, baila!
(She's dancing!) I love to dance with everyone!
It's really great and really fun!
I'm glad I took the chance to DAAAANCE!!!
It's the Everyone Can Dance Dance!
The Everyone Can Dance Dance!
Come on,

"I LOVE to dance." Thanks for helping, guys!
HOORAY!!!
"You've done it!"
"You got my mommy to dance!"
The results: "Everyone helped!"
So the winner must be the entire castle.
So the winner must be the entire castle.
"So, I will give EVERYONE one big wish."
"Bring in the wish box."
Here it comes!
What fun like a peacock!
Who's going to open the wish box now?
Juan El Bobo is here!
"What do you wish for?"
Dora knows what to wish for: They need to wish Swiper to be free!
Help Dora make the wish. Say "I wish Swiper free!" Come on! Say it!
"I wish Swiper free!" Since they're doing it, this is something new!
It's working!
"Louder!" Say it again!
"I WISH SWIPER FREE!!"
It's almost there!
"I'm free! I'm free!!"
"Thank you! Thank you!!", Swiper said excitedly with freedom.
The Elf is sad, because he is now becoming the loser of the dance contest. "Cane, I guess we have to go back in the bottle, because..."
If he gets out, then we go in.
If he gets out, then WE GO IN!!!
Dora feels bad for him.
"King Juan el Bobo!"
"Please, your majesty? Can't we keep the Dancing Elf out of the bottle?"
"He really loves to dance,"
"and there's no room in there."
His Mommy speaks up. "Yeah, sonny boy!"
"And I need someone to dance with!"
He accepts it. "Okay,
Elf and Cane, you are now free to be out of the bottle FOREVER."
YAAAAAY!!!
"Come on, Elfie! Let's merengue!"
"I'm so happy that my mommy loves to dance!"
"And that we're all free from the bottle forever!"
(WE MADE IT!!!!)
(WE MADE IT!!!!)
"LET'S DANCE!!!"
That's right, King Juan el Bobo! Come on, guys!
We did it!
We did it!
We did it!
YAY!!!

"We sure did a lot of

"What was YOUR favorite part of the trip?"
Go on, tell them what you liked the best of the dance adventure!
As always: "I liked that, too!"
Let's hear THEIR favorite parts! Probably the dances?
Let's hear THEIR favorite parts! Probably the dances?
Boots' favorite part was wiggling his arms like a spider.
Wiggle, wiggle!
Dora's favorite was the Pirate Dance!
Yo, ho, ho!
Swiper liked the Everyone Can Dance Dance.
Dora thinks that it was the king's mommy's favorite part, too!
"Come on, Elfie! Let's boogie!"
"A-boogie-boogie-BOOGIE!"
Swiper wants to dance, too! "Let's dance!"
"We couldn't have done it without you!"
"Thanks for helping!"
"¡Gracias!"
