Inspired by the Adherent word used today i thought i would see how many of us can come up with lovely words relevant to dancing that we dont use on a day to day basis with a little quote showing an example of what that word would mean.
Here is my word for the day....UNDULATING
Most startling was the dancer's exposed, undulating abdomen, which she could adroitly activate while hardly moving her feet.
Come on you clever Forumites feed us some new words......

The word that does it for me is 'serendipity' .......... love it and it ticks all the boxes
2 of my fave words in the world - lackadaisical and idiosyncratic
Lately my fav word has been Mong
Its just a funny word to me.
Good idea for a thread!!
My word of the moment is "Halcyon", just conjures up images of happy memories
BTW - if you go to Merriam Webster's homepage and subscribe to their Word of the Day, you get a new word in your inbox every day. A must for geeks and literature peeps like me
chillaxin
ZONE does it for me, because when I am in it, I never want to leave it.
Turned up late for the bbq at SP because I was well in the ZONE and just could not leave the dance floor.
"Pulchritude" -as in:
"DTS is a connoisseur of pulchritude in both women and men on the dance floor ..."
OR "Scintillating" - as in:
"Anton du Beke's footsteps were scintillating on the dance floor".
Not sure if I have used either correctly but I kinda like them .... no doubt RobD will correct me if necessary!
Easily distracted .....
ooh another word i love is Peachy......
It conjurs up all sorts of lovely things in my mind.
Example.... How are you today? Im just peachy !!
Cwtchy, Oh cwtch yourself right in here my lovely.
So Welsh so lovely.
Cwtching in with a good blues dancer is almost feotal for me. All warm and cwtchy.
Stone me where;s me tissues.
Dreamy ........Sorry were was I? I was miles away (In fact I'll put that spelling mistake back in ... I was miles asway )
WT
discombobulation
a word to roll around your mouth, to take your time over. It's such a soothing word for such an uncomfortable feeling.
Incandescent.
As in 'incandescent with rage', as I am presently.
Can you really beat the word 'dollop'? It's almost onomatopoetic in its ability to conjour word into thought. As in:
"Dylan's freshly severed testicles looked somewhat lonely in the small crystal bowl until Victor topped them off with a liberal dollop of clotted cream." - The Himalayan Vet by J.D.W. Stutterland
Borborygmous... *burb*
oh excuse me !
