boogying
Moving to music
Boogying is dancing, especially in an energetic or uninhibited way: We spent the night boogying at the club.
The term emerged from disco culture but now applies broadly to any lively dancing.
It can also mean moving quickly or getting going: We'd better start boogying if we want to make it on time.
