waltzes
Dances in threes
Waltzes is the plural of waltz, a ballroom dance in triple time where couples turn gracefully across the floor: They danced three waltzes before the band took a break.
As a verb, waltzes means moves with confident ease, often implying casualness bordering on presumption: He just waltzes in like he owns the place.
