Finished dance

Spanish translation: el baile de no hay más

English term or phrase: Finished dance
Does anybody know what "finished dance" means?
I don't have any context to provide, it is an add about a medicine for kids, but there are two bullets with a phrase "All finished dance" and "XX (name of the product) under the sea".
I thought it could be some idiomatic phrase, but I've never heard of it.
Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
A suggestion, as this could be phrased in many different ways. I am guessing this refers to a little dance to celebrate the child has taken all their medicine (in English the expression "all finished" is common to mark the end of children's activities, at least in the US)

Explanation:
Ese sería el equivalente en español. Literalmente sería «el baile del final», pero en español no decimos así.
