\n\tMadonna<\/a> wants everyone to get up and dance<\/a>, and that includes some of Hollywood\u2019s biggest celebs.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a new clip posted Monday (July 6), the pop icon took fans behind the scenes of her Confessions II short film, showing off how she got stars like Gwendoline Christie, Odessa A\u2019zion and more to bust a groove on set to her new song \u201cDanceteria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is a trip down memory lane,\u201d Madge says at the beginning of the video before it cuts to a series of historic photos of Danceteria, the long-closed New York City nightclub after which she named one of the songs on her new album, Confessions II. The venue hosted countless wild nights in the early and mid-80s, which the hitmaker paid homage to in the \u201cDanceteria\u201d sequence of her film that dropped in June.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the new clip, Madonna and her crew re-create the club\u2019s vibes with a busy bathroom scene, in which she bumps into the Marty Supreme actress, who spills her drink, and gets caught hooking up with a guy in a stall by the Game of Thrones alum. \u201cI\u2019ve waited my whole life to do this,\u201d Christie tells the BTS camera excitedly.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI enjoyed your dancing, you were fabulous,\u201d Christie tells Benedict Cumberbatch, who also appears in the Confessions II extended visual.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore filming his flirtatious dance-floor rendezvous with the Queen of Pop, she hypes him up. \u201cAre you ready to dance?\u201d she asks, to which the British actor says, \u201cOh, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther big names in the sequence include Kate Moss, Honey Dijon and Shygirl, while Sabrina Carpenter, Julia Garner and more appear in other scenes of the Confessions II film. The long-awaited follow-up to 2005\u2019s Confessions on a Dance Floor dropped Friday, marking Madonna\u2019s first LP since 2019\u2019s Billboard 200<\/a> topper Madame X.<\/p>\n
