In literature, "prance" often gestures toward a lively, spirited movement, frequently describing the animated gait of horses and other animals, as well as the energetic or affected behavior of people. It conveys both literal action and a sense of joyful flamboyance—a horse might prance along a sandy beach or down a country road ([1], [2]), while a character might exhibit a prance that hints at triumph, capriciousness, or even mockery ([3], [4]). Moreover, the term can serve as an ironic or symbolic device, with some authors bestowing it as a surname ([5], [6]) or using it to underscore an exaggerated sense of self-importance or eccentricity ([7], [8]). This multiplicity of meaning enriches narrative tone by infusing scenes with dynamic motion and vivid character nuance.
