Space Dance
Raquel Welch dances in a silver bikini to a jazzed up version of Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" — since Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey forever made that piece synonymous with space travel.The clip is from Raquel!, a 1970 CBS television special.

I love the names of these moves, especially "Funky Elbows" and "Shoulder Sniff."
For some reason I am reminded of this classic video.
