#209 caper

caper- a playful skip or leap; a high-spirited escapade; slang- an organized robbery

C16 from capriole

(It's interesting to me that caper means more than the slang definition.)

One highlight of this caper is the ensemble wore translucent sombreros that covered them down to the shoulders to enable them to do their feisty or sneaky steps in perfect unison.
