Introduction to the verb dansoter
The English translation of the French verb dansoter is “to dance lightly” or “to sway.” The infinitive form is pronounced “dahn-soh-tay.”
The word dansoter is a combination of the French words “danser” (to dance) and “tôt” (lightly), and its origin can be traced back to the 19th century. It is most often used in everyday French to describe a light and graceful dancing movement, often done to music.
