sinuously
With winding movements
Sinuously means in a winding, curving manner—moving with smooth, wavelike motion: The river flowed sinuously through the valley.
The word often suggests graceful, serpentine movement: She moved sinuously across the dance floor.
It can describe anything that bends and curves without sharp angles.
