On short final approach, the pilot followed the procedure as prescribed in the POH. The aircraft was flown down to a flare height of a couple of feet and began slowing for touchdown by adding back pressure to the stick. The pilot felt the main wheels touch the seal and added more back pressure to the stick. The aircraft rose and the pilot held the stick steady. The nose then dropped suddenly and the nose wheel struck the tarmac. The propeller hit the tarmac, the pilot pulled back a bit and it rose and dropped again, this time the nose wheel fully collapsed and the aircraft skidded to a halt.
