prancer
Springy-gaited mover
A prancer is one who prances—moving with high, springy steps, often in a showy or spirited manner.
The word most commonly describes horses that lift their legs high and move with exaggerated elegance.
It extends to people who walk with theatrical flair or self-conscious pride: She came in like a prancer, expecting everyone to notice.
Prancer is also famously one of Santa's reindeer.
