I believe the answer is:

sashay

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

'do some hip swinging in band? always' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'band? always' is the wordplay.
'band?' becomes 'sash' (a band of material).
'always' becomes 'ay' (archaic term for 'always').
'sash'+'ay'='SASHAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sashay that I've seen before include "Casually move" , "move smoothly" , "Move ostentatiously" , "Walk in showy way" , "Excursion" .)
