waltz
Box step dance
A waltz is a ballroom dance in triple time, characterized by smooth, gliding movements and a distinctive one-two-three rhythm.
The verb means to dance this way, but extends to any easy, confident movement: She waltzed into the room like she owned it.
To waltz through something is to accomplish it effortlessly: He waltzed through the exam.
