traveling without moving

*traveling without moving* [_ˈtrævəlɪŋ wɪˈðaʊt ˈmuːvɪŋ_] _verb phrase; also used as a noun phrase_ 1. To be carried somewhere else in mind and spirit through sound, rhythm, and atmosphere while the body stays on the dance floor. 2. A dance night built around this experience, where music with a variety of vibes and energies takes the place of a ticket, a passport, and a suitcase. 3. _(figurative)_ A state of being fully elsewhere while fully present, in which the room stays the same but the place it feels like keeps changing. *Usage note:* Despite the "without moving" in the name, the practice involves plenty of movement. The paradox is intentional: the body stays in one place and the mind goes on the trip. *Example:* _"We didn't leave Funkhaus all night, but somewhere around midnight we were in Detroit, and by two we had landed in Rio. That's traveling without moving."_ ⁠
