Pan's People from their residency on series 3 of The Two Ronnies, in tiny silver outfits with silver go-go boots, and lots and lots of beads. Listen to those beads swish and rattle!
I can't identify the music: a generic brass-heavy big band funk workout of some sort. Any further information would be welcome.
Update 12 August 2012: It's Altar Rock, by Bobby Keys: from his self-titled 1972 album.

This is a request posting for hadeel. The video quality is pretty poor, I'm afraid, but it's the best I can find. I'd be happy to hear from anyone who can supply a better quality version, bien sûr.

You probably don't need me to tell you that YouTube has plenty of clips of Pan's People, Legs & Co., and all the other dance groups covered in this blog. I've avoided just slapping up embedded YouTube clips until now, preferring to concentrate on clips that I can offer as downloads.
YouTube clips come in various qualities, from nicely converted Freeview digital clips, to grainy old VHS, and even what looks like video cameras pointed at TV screens.
One YouTube poster with a particular good source of unique clips is tvinsider4. Brian requested this clip of Legs & Co dancing to Tom Browne's Funkin' For Jamaica, and since I can't find a downloadable source anywhere, I'm posting tvinsider4's YouTube clip (here's the original).
Clip Gone!
Of course if you really really want a downloadable version of this clip, there are plenty of people out there in the electric soup explaining how to download YouTube clips. Google is your friend.
Thanks are due to tvinsider4 for this clip, and his many others. And if anyone can point me in the direction of a better quality version, I'd be most grateful.
Update 16 February 2013: This clip seems to also be broken. but I've posted another, better version here.
See them get an early bath when the digger dumps a load of cold water over them.

Pan's People on TOTP, dancing to Papa was A Rolling Stone by the Tempatations. With some very ropey old colour-separation overlay, from the Analogue Age of Television Effects.
Bookended by creepy old Jimmy Saville, and some very nervous girls. And who can blame them?
