Mimes hid out and danced (8)

I believe the answer is:

shimmied

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

'mimes hid out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'mimes'+'hid'='mimeshid'
'mimeshid' is an anagram of 'SHIMMIED'.

'and' is the link.
