I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dances suggestively' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'vacuous guy and charges' is the wordplay.
'vacuous' means to remove the middle letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'charges' becomes 'rates' (rate is a kind of charge).
'guy' with its middle removed is 'gy'.
'gy'+'rates'='GYRATES'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gyrates that I've seen before include "Is spinner" , "turns" , "Spins, whirls" , "Circles" , "Goes round and round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
