dance the shimmy

move effortlessly; glide with a swaying motion

her hair swung in waves as she shimmied down the catwalk

shake or vibrate abnormally

he braked hard and felt the car shimmy dangerously

a kind of ragtime dance in which the whole body shakes or sways

shaking, especially abnormal vibration of the wheels of a motor vehicle

steering stabilizers reduce shimmy even from oversized tyres
