You know what? I think that it’s about time we recognize Raquel Welch as the mistress, the grand goddess of dance. Forget Britney pre-trauma, Michael Jackson, or even Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Raquel had the moves! Granted, they certainly became a little funkier over the years (check out another, older clip after the jump), but man-oh-man.

I know that Jane Fonda was Barbarella, but when/if Robert Rodriguez does get that remake off the ground, I hope they include this space dance, which seems to be from a television special featuring Raquel back in 1970. Groove to her moves, and tell me — which super-famous dance, which exploded in the ’80s, does this clip remind you of?
