sashay
Glide with attitude
Sashay is to walk with exaggerated, swaying movements—a strut that calls attention to itself.
The word often implies theatrical confidence or flirtation: She sashayed across the room.
In square dancing, sashay is a sideways sliding step where partners move past each other.
The casual verb sometimes just means to go or proceed: He sashayed over to the bar.
