翩翩起舞 (piān piān qǐ wǔ) — to dance gracefully and lightly; to dance elegantly

Definition

A literary, onomatopoetic-style verb meaning to dance lightly and gracefully — the reduplication 翩翩 evokes fluttering movement, so it suits butterflies, willows, or a dancer on stage rather than plain everyday dancing.
