fluidly
In flowing motion
Fluidly describes movement or action that flows smoothly, without interruption or awkwardness.
Someone who speaks fluidly moves from one idea to the next without hesitation; a dancer who moves fluidly seems to glide through space.
The word extends beyond physical motion to describe any process that proceeds without friction: The conversation shifted fluidly between topics.
She navigated fluidly between her two languages.
