Prance
Joyful Movement
Used to express joy or happiness, often in a playful or energetic way.
The puppies began to prance around the garden, their tails wagging excitedly.
Not for Humans
Usually describes animals, not people, unless in a metaphorical sense.
Watching the show, the children were prancing like little lambs during the fun songs.
Energetic Action
Implies a lot of energy and liveliness, more than a simple walk or run.
