sinuous
Full of curves
Sinuous describes something that curves and bends in a smooth, flowing way—like a snake's movement or a winding river.
A sinuous road follows the contours of a hillside.
A sinuous dancer moves with fluid grace.
The word suggests elegance in the curves rather than sharp angles or abrupt turns.
