'danced' is the definition.
(jitterbugging is a kind of dancing)

'faceless model annoyed after juliet' is the wordplay.
'faceless model' becomes 'itter' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'annoyed' becomes 'bugged' (I've seen this before).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'juliet' becomes 'j' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'itter'+'bugged'='itterbugged'
'itterbugged' put after 'j' is 'JITTERBUGGED'.
