The star looked glamorous in a leather and mesh corset top, teamed with flared trousers and shades as she lipsynced to her legendary track, before blowing a kiss at her fans.
She captioned the clip: 'To be able to move my body and dance just a little bit makes me feel like the Luckiest Star in the world!
'Thank you to all of my fans and friends! You must be my lucky stars too!

'And Happy 40th Birthday to my very. First Album.'
Last week the singer posed with some pink roses in her garden and wrote: 'A single rose can be my garden. A single friend my world. Thank You.'
The star also shared some snaps relaxing on her sofa and posing with a colorful cushion.
This comes after the pop icon broke her silence on her health battle last week and wrote on social media: 'Thank you for your positive energy. Prayers and words of healing and encouragement. I have felt your love.
'I'm on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings.
'My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour.
'I also didn't want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.
'My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I assure you I'll be back with you as soon as I can

'My current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe.
'I couldn't be more grateful for your care and support. Love, M.'
Madonna was given an injection of the drug Narcan - commonly used to reverse suspected drug overdoses - to combat acute septic shock before she was rushed on to hospital, reported Radar Online.
The insider said the singer 'has an incredible support system around her and appreciates all the love she's received' since she was taken to a hospital June 24.
The singer has been mostly bedridden as she remains 'weak and very tired' following the ordeal.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.
These chemicals damage the body's own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure and death.

Organ failure and death are more likely if sepsis is not recognized early and treated immediately.
DailyMail.com contacted representatives for the star for comment.
The Vogue singer's health crisis came ahead of her postponement of The Celebration Tour, an 84-date trek which was slated to kick off July 15 in Vancouver at the Rogers Arena.
Last month, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary said that 'at this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.'
Madonna had dealt with a fever for a month, insiders told the outlet, but kept things under wraps in hopes of keeping her tour intact.
The singer was not planning on jeopardizing her recovery to keep the show going, sources told US Weekly Wednesday.'Although Madonna is looking forward to getting back to work as soon as possible,' sources said, 'she's also taking her recovery seriously and isn't going to rush anything because she is focused on her health above all else.'
The insider said the singer 'has an incredible support system around her and appreciates all the love she's received' since she was taken to a hospital June 24.
They added: 'It's a work in progress but she's feeling confident and better every day.'

The La Isla Bonita artist later went home after a several-day stay in the hospital and was 'feeling better,' a source close to the matter told AFP.
Her global, nearly sold-out tour is billed as paying homage to Madonna's more than four-decade long career.
Stops in the United States were to include Detroit, Chicago, Miami and New York, the city where her storied rise to superstardom began.
She's then slated to continue in Europe, with dates in London, Barcelona and Paris, as well as four dates in Mexico City.
The Grammy-winning icon behind classics including Like A Virgin and Material Girl has asserted incalculable influence over her stellar career as one of music's top stars.
In 2020 Madonna underwent hip replacement surgery following an injury sustained on her Madame X tour.
Earlier this week, Madonna's friend and A League Of Their Own costar Rosie O'Donnell, 61, gave fans a general update on the singer.
After O'Donnell shared a screenshot of the 1992 film on her Instagram, a fan asked how Madonna was doing.
'She is recovering at home,' Rosie said Monday. 'She is very strong in general.'
The singer's relative previously told DailyMail.com they spent several traumatic days unsure if she was going to pull through.

The family member said the shocking collapse was a wake-up call for Michigan-born Madonna, who believes she is 'invincible' and has been pushing herself extremely hard to prepare for the tour.
'For the past couple of days, no one really knew which direction this was going to turn, and her family was preparing for the worst,' the relative said.
'That is why it was kept a secret since Saturday.
'Everyone believed that we may lose her and that has been the reality of the situation.'
Madonna is mother to six children: Lourdes, 26; Rocco, 22; David, 17; Mercy, 17; and 10-year-old twins Stella and Estere.
Lourdes was by her side throughout her hospitalization, The New York Post reported.
