trip the light fantastic

The phrase "trip the light fantastic" refers to dancing or moving in a lively and graceful manner, often with a sense of joy and freedom. It originated from a line in John Milton's poem "L'Allegro" (1645): "Come, and trip it as you go, on the light fantastic toe." This expression can be used metaphorically to describe a carefree and exhilarating experience, particularly when dancing or being immersed in a euphoric atmosphere.
