Skips, dances (6)

I believe the answer is:

capers

(Other definitions for capers that I've seen before include "Pickled flower buds used in sauces" , "Escapades or pungent flower buds" , "Jumps about playfully, or flavouring buds" , "Antics and pickled flower-buds" , "Antics and pickled buds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
