Dance while shaking the hips and shoulders (6)

I believe the answer is:

shimmy

(Other definitions for shimmy that I've seen before include "US ragtime dance - glide effortlessly" , "Ragtime dance - gracefully sway" , "Elegantly move" , "Lively dance - woman's undergarment" , "Shaking ragtime dance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
